Morre is a sly and sleazy rock and roll band from Toronto. With their massive sound, mystical twin vocalists and a mesmerizing stage show, they have enough attitude to tear many modern rock acts to shreds.



The band is fresh off the release of their debut album entitled "...Out There" and their empowering performance is complete with female gypsy dancers, trippy jam sections, and an eclectic range of dynamic songwriting. Morre's patented brand of slick old school rock riffs intertwined with their flare for theatrics and their wildly entertaining stage presence make them a diamond in the rough as far modern rock groups go.



As a live band Morre creates a potent mix of Middle Eastern musical influences integrated with a lethal injection of seventies rock and roll, potent enough to knock you on your ass through their entire set. The band opened with the song "The Moment", which sounds like a mind-bending trip through a desert while guitarists Igor Lazebnick and Adrian Tonceanu play guitar harmonies like they sold their souls to the devil. The song "Sunset Flower" easily could be the soundtrack to the epic finale of a western movie, where a triumphant gunslinger rides into the sunset after saving the day and the love of his life.

The band blazed through an endearing cover of "Paint it Black" by the Rolling Stones with enough fiery tenacity and determination to keep the crowd wrapped around their collective finger.



Morre brings music back to a primal and ritualistic experience. It puts the audience into a trance with the tribal elements of their sound, like the band are shamans of psychedelic grooves drowned in distortion. If you are looking for a soundtrack to an evening full of lit cigarettes, strong drinks, and intoxicating rock played by four dudes covered in leather and denim; then here is your ticket.
