Hi Everyone,
It's been a fantastic year for Bongo Beat and we're ending it in grand style.
Here's what's going on...
BONGO BEAT NIGHT:
INTERNATIONAL POP OVERTHROW FESTIVAL
Friday, Nov 19, The Rivoli, Toronto
For the first time ever, Bongo Beat brings the fun of its yearly
legendary Cavern Club Liverpool shows to Canada. We've got 4 acts
ready to rock The Rivoli. All sets are 20-25 minutes.
9:30pm - KEVIN KANE (Grapes of Wrath)
- Kevin is now based in Toronto and immediately after his set he's
off to The Horseshoe down the street - where The Grapes of Wrath are
headlining the same night! Pop craftsmanship at its best.

11:00pm - RALPH
- Label boss Ralph Alfonso has not headlined Toronto since his
Harbourfront show in 2001. He last headlined The Rivoli in 1996. The
all-star RALPH band will include Dave Rave, Mark Foley, and Jack
Pedlar (Teenage Head) on drums. All out garage rock jazz and pop!

12:00pm (midnight) - DAVE RAVE
- Fresh from US Dates with Bruce Springsteen and Joe Gruschecky, and
a year of non-stop touring in Italy, UK, USA and more - Dave Rave
will end the night with a rock'n'roll hi-energy party in his first
appearance in Toronto in almost 3 years. Expect pure pop perfection
from the man they call Canada's Nick Lowe.
