Sounds Like
If Joan Jett was kicked out of Rock n' Roll High School for being drunk & acting like the class clown.
High Heels Lo Fi hatched around two & a half years ago, born of a passionate menage of rock, booze, and hilarity. If you want to hear brilliant rock music, go see Dragonforce. If you want to be bullied into dancing, singing along, drinkin & laughin yer ass off, come see High Heels Lo Fi.
For some reason, they've already been allowed to play at Clinton's, The Cameron House, The Reverb, Hugh's Room, Theatre Passe Muraille, The Gladstone Hotel, Neutral, and Buddies in Bad Times Theatre; amusing audiences with their raw rock songs and hilarious onstage style.
"You'd have to be a dead person to not want to get up and jump around when High Heels Lo Fi are doing their crazy, punkish thang." -- Rio Youers, author of EVERDEAD and MAMA FISH
"The show had a line up of three bands with High Heels Lo Fi kicking off the evening. And kick it off they did. Songs like ‘10 more minutes’ and ‘Big Dumb Rock Song’ not only leave the listeners with a huge grin on their face, these ladies are so charming that you couldn’t help but sing along! At one point they pulled someone up from the audience and had him play the cowbell, now that’s audience participation!
It is really hard to pinpoint a type of genre to put this band in. They are a comedic rock band, with sassy sex appeal, and clever writing. They do their twists on ACDC, love ballads and break up songs. The show is a whole package of entertainment including the much anticipated high kick from Mandy Wells!
The band is taking June and July off to work on new material and will be back on stages all over Toronto in August! It won’t just be the heat of August that will have you sizzling, I can guarantee if you make it out for a High Heels Lo Fi show, they will set the stage on fire." ~ www.lipstikindie.com
"That was a great set at The Poor Alex. Pom poms, cougar shirts, and AC/DC covers. Rock with a little sass doesn't get any better. Entertaining." ~ Lonely Vagabond
