Toronto’s had a number of high-profile cover-band outfits make names for themselves over the past few years, such as the big band extravanganza Loving In The Name Of, or Sheezer, the all-female Weezer cover band. A new booking agency, Born Rebels, has signed these acts and more, and is throwing a big launch party featuring some of their roster’s talent: the Black Pearls, who cover the Travelling Wilburys; the Mercenaries, who do ’50s soul; Tommy Youngsteen, who do Petty/Young/Springsteen; and Hot Rock, who specialize in the Rolling Stones.
This post originally referred to the band Tommy Youngsteen as “Tommy Springsteen.” We regret the error.
