⭐The Jitters ride again! The band that formed in Toronto in 1981 (and allegedly broke up ten years later) continues to occasionally get together and make music. Last seen performing live in 2019, Blair, Danny, Matt and David are still the rocking pop band they’ve always been. In the 80s, the band opened for The Kinks, The Byrds, Huey Lewis and the News, Colin James and more. March 1988 saw them support Heart in the UK, closing off the tour with three sold-out nights at Wembley Arena where The Jitters received standing ovations. Last of the Red Hot Fools not only became a Top Twenty single in Canada, it broke into the BBC’s Hot 100.

They were always video favourites with their indie single Take Me As I Am and their
1990 song ’Til the Fever Breaks which rose to #4 on the MuchMusic countdown. Nominated for a JUNO in 1988, The Jitters won the Toronto Music Award for Best Rising Stars in 1990. At Hugh’s Room, as in past appearances, the band promises to break out the old songs as well as a few new surprises.

⭐Flash Bangs is a Toronto-based power pop/alternative rock trio known for high-energy live performances and catchy, guitar-driven songs.

FLASH BANGS are a power pop trio from Toronto Canada. During a chance meeting at a gas station Tim Horton’s, Sean, James and George realized each of them had been born to virgin mothers. They decided to form the most powerful band in the world.
