Salt Thief
“... shooting viola lasers from the stage...”
— Wax Mannequin
Brothers John and Tony Kastelic left their home in the dusty prairies of southern Alberta and set up operation in the salt and rain of Vancouver, BC, creating the world's one-and-only stereo-viola folk rock band. Their music blends fiddle folk, rock n' roll, and a touch of disco for good measure.
They grew up playing classical music and fiddle together, but the brothers' first performance as a band was on the eve of the winter solstice, 2012. Some folks said that this winter solstice would be the end of the world, but every end is a beginning, and that night was a fiery beginning to the gutsy fiddle outfit Salt Thief.
Individually, John and Tony could each be a one man band. They hold down a rare groove with full baritone voices, shredding violas, and thunderous foot percussion. As a duo they are a force of nature. Joined by their band – Ross Christopher Fairbairn on upright bass and Paul Patko on drums – they lay claim to a sound that is raw, groovy, and impossibly unique.
Whiskey Dicks
The Whiskeydicks are a group of Celtic Gypsy party rockers established in 2002 have been carving their reputation for themselves as “One Hell of a Good Time”. The Whiskeydicks use fiery celtic-gypsy fiddle licks, cello played like a bass, bombastic trumpet, vivacious drum beats, energetic guitar strumming, and voice to tell stories of good times past and to play songs people know but in a way they’d never imagine. The formula works and has earned the band acclaim from audiences everywhere.
Bridging the gap between traditional and modern popular music with an enthusiasm that is contagious, and an eclecticism that knows no bounds, The Whiskeydicks have taken the stage at festivals such as the Woodford Folk Festival in Australia, the South East Alaska State Fair, Sunstroke festival in Whitehorse, Celtic Fest Vancouver, and the Galway Bay Irish Music Festival in Washington State.
“If Gogol Bordello and the Corb Lund Band got drunk, hooked up and then nine months later popped out a little whippersnapper, that baby would probably be the Whiskeydicks. That is to say this BC-by-way-of-Whitehorse band combine various elements of Celtic, country, rock and Gypsy music and filter them through punk sensibilities and a rowdy disposition.” – Ty Trumbull of Exclaim!
