The History of Gunpowder is madly creating in the studio and cooking up the wild upcoming album release that is The Epileptic Volume 2. After the critical acclaim of Volume 1 and the beauty of their headlining European Tour, they are at it again and planning for a bigger, longer, more absurd EU Tour; this is Vancity's chance to hear the set of this tour. Tell them what you think, throw tomatoes if you don't dig, throw love and tequila if you dig. Expect surprises as some of Vancouver's finest come and join them onstage - vocalists, pedal steel players, MORE SAXOPHONES. This line up will be bigger and badder than ever. This RARE show will also be FILMED and RECORDED so come lookin' nice. It is an early(ish) show, so come early to see the mighty mighty Raincity open up the night with their ever-expanding funk songwriting and powerhouse sound. This may be the ONLY show The History puts on before the Summer Festival season and the next European tour! Come down and see them usher in the summer with your own eyes, come early and come thirsty.

The History of Gunpowder
The History of Gunpowder is a six-piece freak out orchestra that tight ropes the delicate balance between order and chaos. Coming off their European Tour with a whole new catalogue of songs, The History's set and line up is in constant flux to keep pushing the envelope. Through the fusion of improvised jazz mayhem, swamp pirate rhythms, delectable funk grooves and growling blues vocals, this group emerges as an unforgettably unabashed and brazen musical experience guaranteed to offer something unique to the audience.
Voted #6 in the TOP 10 BEST BANDS IN MONTREAL category
- Cult Magazine
"Using a throat that would make Tom Waits and Nick Cave jealous, Morison kicked off the show with a stomp-and-howl number that made me scribble two words in a notebook: “holy shit”.
- Montreal Rocks
"Frontman Alex Morison’s voice has become something both horrifying and enthralling. For a man under fifty to have beaten his throat into such a state inspires strong awe, mild concern, and just a hint of jealousy"
- Beatroute
“To say The History of Gunpowder is impressive would probably be an understatement. The power the band delivers is immense and as we head into 2020 I’m inclined to say The History of Gunpowder is derivative only unto itself.”
