In the 3 years that Persist has been around, they've grown into one of Toronto's favorite, Indie Hard Rock bands! You've seen them play in such locations as: The Reverb, The Docks, The Kathedral, Jeff Healeys Roadhouse, Lee's Palace, Raxx, The Bovine Sex Club,The Opera House, Rok Boutique, The Smiling Buddha, The Music Hall Lounge, Rock N Roll Heaven and The Hard Rock Cafe.
K.C.Lee, Robbie Pow, Z, & Jerry Stro bring a vibe...an energy, which is almost impossible to deny! These guys have an alternative rock style with traces of metal influences that creates a sound all of their own
"Once you hear their sound, you never forget it!"

My friends, I hope you're not exhausted of live music after NXNE, because I'd like to personally invite you for a drink and a smile at our musical party this Thursday, June 19th at Sneaky Dee's. We'll be accompanied by a couple of very energetic & powerful bands (The Isosceles Project & ADA) that will make for an especially high-caliber soirée.
It looks like you play in Toronto quite a bit, that's awesome! I've enjoyed listening to your music.
I have blogged your February 2 and 20th shows here in Toronto as part of my blogs to help spread the word. I've also added them to my Facebook group page.
All the best to you this year, hopefully our paths will cross. Keep in touch through here or Facebook.
Much Love, Mary-Elizabeth Gilbert (Mary) Creator & Founder Meg-a Music Toronto “Live your dreams, don’t just dream them…” www.megamusictoronto.com (being updated with much more info SOON, please keep checking back!)
