The Zambonis are a Connecticut-based indie rock band formed in 1991 by musicians Dave Schneider (The LeeVees), Peter Katis, Jon Aley, and Tarquin Katis. The Zambonis write songs exclusively about ice hockey. Schneider says of the band's musical style: “We’re the only band in the world whose two biggest influences are The Beatles and Wayne Gretzky!”

 

The NHL has commissioned the group to compose theme songs for the Boston Bruins and the Colorado Avalanche.  The band has toured with the Stanley Cup and fundraised for Matt Cullen's organization, Cullen Children's Foundation.
 

The Zambonis single "Hockey Monkey" was featured in episodes of televesion series Mr. Wong, and was chosen by Fox as the theme song to a sitcom called The Loop.  Four Zambonis songs have been featured on the Midway video game NHL Hitz.

Always a fun filled live show, The Zambonis tie in a love for music with a love for sports like no other.

Sgt. Scag (aka Sgt. Scagnetti) is a fixture on the Northeast ska/punk scene since the late 1990’s. Winners of the 2020 “Oskar” for New England!! Migrating from a ska-pop outfit into a harder more frantic sound, the band’s live shows are unpredictable and fun. They might arm the audience with 100’s of plastic toy swords, split them in half and have the crowd reenact a scene from Braveheart. Really. The Hartford Courant called them a “surefire crowd slayer.”

Chaser Eight has been voted New England’s Best Alt-Rock band for two consecutive years in The Deli magazine’s year-end poll, and has worked their way up to opening for the likes of Panic! at the Disco, The Dollyrots, and Local H.

 

Founded by *AUDRA* (vocals/guitar), and Pat Walsh (guitar/vocals) and after 6 EPs, 5 standalone singles, and an eponymous full length album – the band found themselves without a rhythm section. It was time to go back to the drawing board and search for new members. Their search for new members culminated in 2018 with the additions of Brennan DiLernia (bass), Eliav Nachmani [former] (drums), and Jess Wolfer (backing vocals). The trio weren’t simply brought on to replace the previous members, however, they were to play a pivotal role in the musical reinvention of the band. The result is a new sound that’s still alternative rock, but markedly different from previous Chaser Eight efforts, with the band’s new roster being the catalyst for the change. Chaser Eight’s new sound can be heard on the band’s new album, Tell Me Lies, released on October 18, 2019. This is the new Chaser Eight – reborn, reinvented, and reinvigorated.
