Last Chance Gang

About

Half a century after soul music brought the world to the dance floor, the classic sounds of rhythm and blues are alive and well and living in a very unlikely place.

Far from your average nostalgia act, Winnipeg’s Last Chance Gang takes the unstoppable groove of traditional soul and filters it through contemporary influences – resulting in something wholly unique and comfortably familiar at the same time.

Anchored by guitar-driven rhythms, powerhouse female vocals, and horn-soaked splashes of colour, Last Chance Gang evokes the earworm hooks of Motown and the gritty yearning of Stax, while maintaining a kinetic, almost punk rock energy.

The three songs of soulful, intense longing on the band’s debut EP – described by music blog Bad Gardening Advice as “a miracle of endurance, of weathering all that life throws at you – are only the beginning.

The seven-piece is set to restore your faith in the power of R&B, stage by stage, listener by listener, and to let everyone back in to a party that never really stopped.
