MySpace a place for friends

Early one summer, Pierce, Nigel, Clapsbury and Reggy united their musical prowess in the form of a rock and roll band. Pierce and Nigel had been collaborating together since 2002 and were dire need of a new sound and a new rhythm section. Pierce contacted his long-time high school friends, Reggy and Clapsbury, to jam and see what they could all come up with.

Needless to say, the incendiary tones heard by those four gentlemen that day were nothing short of fate itself resonating in the very walls that enclosed them.

The rest was history – “The Cunninghams” were born.

The Year was 2007, the month, November. This date has become a pivotal moment in rock history, as it was the first time that the band that would become known as The Cunninghams would first play together as a cohesive unit. Pierce, Nigel, Clapsbury and Reggy united their musical prowess to form what has become a band synonymous with “high class rock and roll”. Needless to say, the incendiary cacophony of musical notes emanating from these four gentlemen on that day was nothing short of fate itself; resonating in the very walls that enclosed them.

Since then, The Cunninghams have made some stunning achievements. In April of 2008, they were the winners of the cross-Canada Mazda Muzik Tour Contest, which gave them the opportunity to open for legendary Canadian rocker Sam Roberts to a packed Opera House in Toronto. The band has several times taken the coveted Edge 102.1’s street-front studios stage as part of its Steamwhistle indie music nights and are a regular at some of Toronto’s most prestigious venues such as, the Horseshoe Tavern and El Mocambo.

In November of 2008, the band released its debut album entitled That Oughtta Hold ‘Em to mass critical acclaim; an album that the band felt, at the time, would be an almost insurmountable feat to surpass. However, the First Family of rock and roll, with their aptly-named sophomore effort entitled High Class Rock and Roll, has delivered. Recorded at Toronto’s legendary Phase One Studios, this unique mélange of thunderous rockers and soulful ballads is sure to have fans salivating at the chance to hear what everyone has been anticipating over the past year. It is worth getting your hands on.

The band has embarked on several small tours of Southern Ontario and continues to astonish audiences from venues all over Ontario and Quebec. However, the only real way to experience the entity that is the Cunninghams is to download the tunes and see them for yourself. Your epic journey begins here.
