Prince Daddy & The Hyena WSG Combat and Walter Etc
18+ Standing Room Only Show | 17 and under admitted with a parent or guardian Advance tickets may also be purchased in person at the General Store by card only (no cash) Prince Daddy & the Hyena emerged in 2014 with an affable blend of gallows humor and smartly crafted slacker punk that traffics in elements of power pop, emo, post-hardcore, and indie rock. They issued two EPs before releasing their full-length debut, 2016’s I Thought You Didn’t Even Like Leaving. The band grew more ambitious with subsequent efforts Cosmic Thrill Seekers (2019) and Prince Daddy & the Hyena (2022), both of which were concept LPs. They returned with their fourth album, Hotwire Trip Switch, in 2026. Based out of Albany, New York, the band features Kory Gregory (vocals, guitar), Cameron Handford (guitar), Daniel Gorham (drums, vocals), and Adam Dasilva (bass). Initially comprised of Gregory, drummer Alex Ziembiec, and bass player Zakariya Houacine, the group released their debut EP, Skip Cutscenes! Blow Loud!, shortly after forming. In 2015, they inked a deal with Broken World Media and released a second EP, Adult Summers, with the full-length I Thought You Didn’t Even Like Leaving arriving the following year. Ziembiec left the fold in 2017 and was replaced by new drummer Daniel Gorham, who made his studio debut on the band’s sophomore long-player, 2019’s Counter Intuitive Records-issued Cosmic Thrill Seekers. Citing the punk rock world-building of My Chemical Romance and Green Day as influences, the mental health-oriented LP followed a three-act narrative that mirrored the structure (and some of the themes) of The Wizard of Oz. Adam Dasilva took over bass duties ahead of the release of the group’s third full-length effort. Their first outing for Pure Noise, 2022’s Prince Daddy & the Hyena saw the band deliver another concept LP, this time inspired by frontman Kory Gregory’s near paralyzing fear of death. The album featured the singles “Curly Q” and “A Random Exercise in Impermanence (The Collector).” For their fourth album the group re-signed to Counter Intuitive and brought in Jordan Chmielowski on bass, replacing DaSilva. They also teamed up with Algernon Cadwallader’s Joe Reinhart on production, who had worked on the band’s full-length debut. The resulting Hotwire Trip Switch, was issued in early 2026, preceded by the tracks “Big-Box Store Heart” and “30days30days30days.”

Bombargo
This is a 18+ | 17 under with a parent or guardian Advance tickets may also be purchased in person at the General Store by card only (no cash) ____________________________________________________________________________ Bombargo is a Canadian based international touring band that drops a vibrant splash of soul over their distinctive ‘vintage-pop’ sound. Well known for bringing unrivaled energy to the stage with sing-along anthems, double-brother harmonies, and a powerful message that combined make for one of the most captivating live shows ever! Frontman Nathan Thoen’s passionate conviction and ‘Jagger-like’ dance moves even impressed billionaire and music industry icon Sir Richard Branson, quoting “I haven’t seen this type of energy since The Rolling Stones!” – and he would know, having personally signed The Rolling Stones to Virgin Records. The band began with lead singer Nathan Thoen and guitarist Spencer Chilliak after the two spontaneously met and drove 16 hours to attend Sasquatch Music Festival where they became inspired to start a band. The duo wrote their debut single “Let It Grow” during their very first writing session and as part of Bombargo’s debut EP Back on Main which would go on to be included in “The Top 10 Best Saskatchewan Albums of 2015” by SaskMusic. This further inspired them to continue writing, touring, and release their first full-length album titled We Are Bombargo. The group has since evolved into a 5-piece touring band adding Nathan’s brother Anthony Thoen on guitar, additional brothers Matt and Sammy Folkersen on keys and bass respectively, and Niall Cubbon on drums. Bombargo “VIP, In Spite Of Everything” Experience – Early Access to Venue – Acoustic performance and hang with the band. – Limited edition signed poster and VIP Laminate. – Photo with Bombargo – Early Access to Merch VIP UPGRADE INCLUDES A TICKET TO THE SHOW.
