Villain

...wanna take a second to flip the script and stop perpetuating the 'feeling sorry for ourselves" narrative going around. It ain't easy, and it never was, and if it was, maybe you're the problem. ...gonna take some time to shout out all the real ones who have DIEHARD supported live music and 'alternative' life style from the get, rain or shine, and who better to start with then Bovine Sex Club. I moved here 12 years ago from Alberta after visiting Toronto and seeing (now loca...l titans) Skull Fist at the Bovine immediately after getting off the plane. I spent a great deal of time elbows down at the bar, 1000's of pilsners deep, watching local talent EVERY NIGHT and was fortunate enough to grace this stage more times then I can count. Met more 'real ones' here then I could name, and regardless of the time spent apart I still feel the place deep with in me. When my life began anew in Toronto it was filled and fulfilled by the incredible talent, staff, and attitude of a REAL rock club. ...look forward to seeing you guys on the other side. Thanks Darryl Fine and all my friends that have kept it real from the jump, congrats on 100 years or whatever the fuck its been and here's to 100 more.

- As an unwavering die-hard dedicated to his band, he ended up finally opening VILLAIN’s online store and placing a series of merchandise orders with the money he saved while not having to pay rent. He was frequently found drinking his face off in front of Houndstooth during the summer, effectively surviving by eating the spiciest wings he could get at the local Wing Machine. He occasionally hosted a heavy metal DJ night at Houndstooth and eventually moved in next-door to the... VILLAIN headquarters at 816 College, thanks to his friends and Houndstooth owners Alex Gray and Matias Marin. He is currently scheduled to move back into the band van at the end of January due to his reckless lifestyle choices and drama loving roommates. - Kane Dingobaby Inman(bass) was the only member of the band to be deemed an essential worker by the government and maintained his day-job. A native to Australia, he effectively worked his ass off right until his working-holiday visa expired in October. He was supposed to leave Canada immediately, however his flight kept getting delayed and is currently still in Canada, frequently partying his ass off with the other members of the band and helping Caleb with his Japanese. A true vagabond and great navigator, he has coerced the other members to fly to Australia with him for a tour down under when he is eventually deported. The boys are totally stoked. - VILLAIN somehow survived 2020 and is looking forward to a massive 2021- with the long awaited release of the debut full-length album and high hopes to finally be able to play gigs again. The boys maintain there vision of bringing their version of heavy metal grease to the entire world regardless of the circumstances, and always abide by the one golden rule that they have laid on the line since their creation......
