Take some ska music, toss in a tablespoon of rock, a teaspoon of reggae, a dash of punk, and a pinch of Latin music and jazz. Now stir it around, mix it up real good, and what do you get? A Saskatoon-based quintet called Misterfire. Fueled by their rhythm section — which consists of Emmett Fortosky on bass and Ethan McKibben on drums — Jordan Welbourne (guitar/vocals), Cameron Baribeau (keyboard/trombone) and lead singer Ben Fortosky (who also plays trumpet and guitar) come together to put on a live show that’s simply electric. With a high-energy dose of eclectic music, Misterfire has been rocking venues and winning fans everywhere they play. They’ll be taking the stage at Louis’ next week. Don’t miss it.
This juggernaut of German techno from Saskatoon brings party energy and catchy dance hits to each of their shows. With hits like “Lazerbeams,” “Mein Porsche” and “Straight to Ze Top,” 911 Turbo offers a one-of-a-kind stage performance that blurs the line between comedy and awesome dance party. Made up of Von Trask (dirty synth blaster/public German speaker), Von Hattie (bassitizer/babe pleaser) and Von Lermstein (drumspert/ fog-machinist), this trio is known for having a blast on stage. They’ll be playing Louis’ next week, so if you’re into wild dance parties, crazy light shows and dudes on stage giving it their all, you should probably check out 911 Turbo. Be there or be square.

The Dixie Chicks have come a long way, and gone through some pretty marked changes, since forming back in 1989. Back then they were a quartet playing a lot of bluegrass music. Eventually one of the members quit, the lead singer was replaced by Natalie Maines, and the rest is history. With their new line-up of Maines along with sisters Martie Maguire and Emily Robinson, the Dixie Chicks went on to become one of the biggest acts in country music. Their commercial success began in 1998 with hits like “There’s Your Trouble” and “Wide Open Spaces.” Since then it’s been a rocket ride straight to the top, one that has garnered them 13 Grammy Awards and fans from all walks of life. They’ll be in Saskatoon in November; tickets through Ticketmaster. – By Adam Hawboldt
