Originally formed under the moniker Rainbow Butt Monkeys, the funk fusion band generated significant local buzz and a devoted following during their early years. Having played an early show at Lester B. Pearson High School’s Christmas concert in 1990, the band won a rock contest for 97.7 CHTZ, and used the money to record a debut album “Letters from Chutney” in 1995. In 1996 the group began to be managed by Coalition Entertainment, and opted to take their music in a more serious direction, later changing the name to Finger Eleven.
Formed of vocalist Scott Anderson, bassist Sean Anderson, drummer Rich Beddoe, and a pair of guitarists James Black and Rick Jackett, the band released their sophomore album “Tip” in 1997. Markedly far-removed from their earlier releases the album features a hard rock sound and resulted in Finger Eleven touring alongside Creed and Fuel in support of the record. The full-length “The Greyest of Blue Skies”, like its predecessor was produced by Our Lady Peace’s Arnold Lanni, and released in July 2000. Whilst failing to cause a stir in the U.S, “The Greyest of Blue Skies” represented their biggest Canadian release to date with over 50,000 units sold. Peaking at No. 17 on the Canadian Albums Chart, the record earned positive reviews aided by the singles “First Time”, “Drag You Down”, and “Bones + Joints”.
The band’s subsequent album, 2003’s “Finger Eleven” represented the band’s mainstream breakthrough with over 500,000 albums sold in the U.S. alone. Aided by appearances on the TV series “Scrubs”, “Smallville”, and “Third Watch” the record significantly increased Finger Eleven’s international exposure, later peaking at No. 4 on the Canadian Albums Chart. Following an extensive touring period which included parts of Europe, Australia, and North America, the group issued their fifth studio album “Them vs. You vs. Me” in March 2007. Led by the single “Paralyzer”, which topped the Canadian Single Chart, the record cemented the group’s popularity, and later won the 2008 Juno Award for Rock Album of the Year. The studio album “Life Turns Electric” appeared in 2010, after which drummer Rich Beddoe left the group and was replaced by Chris Powell.
Who doesn't like at least one Three Days Grace song? If you claim you don't, go to You Tube and listen to the first five tracks and tell me you still don't, I bet you can't! Even if you aren't as familiar with their music you can still attend a show without feeling completely lost, the vocals and instruments are well balanced.
If you are sometimes disappointed when the overall sound and ambiance differs during a live show? Well fortunately Three Days Grace is one of those bands that manages to keep a consistent sound whether in studio or live at a venue. Although not as flamboyant as other artists I've seen live the guys in Three Days Grace clearly go above and beyond to provide an excellent show for the audience. The atmosphere definitely pumps you up but at the same time it's not overwhelming if you happen to drag a friend along who isn't familiar with the music. The usual concert pit was mild at best and the vibe overall was pretty chill. Attending this show for a date wouldn't be a too far fetched idea either, don't let the laid-back vibe detour you. It's definitely worth checking out!

A staple of the post-grunge alt-rock scene since 1989, Canadian rockers Finger Eleven (formerly known as- yes, seriously- the Rainbow Butt Monkeys), are still tearing it up on stages throughout the globe today. Their mix of headbanging riffs backed up by foot-stomping drumbeats gives their music a macho, thrusting drive- so it may be no surprise to hear that they recorded a song, 2002’s ‘Slow Chemical’, for WWE champion Kane as his entrance music, which was released on the album ‘The Punisher’ in 2004.
Aside from recording wrester-appropriate music and hitting Gold status for their albums (such as the self-titled release in 2003), Finger Eleven still tour frequently, and I was lucky enough to catch them at the Rock The Resort Ohio show a couple of years ago, where they played to a large crowd swaying, clapping along, and stomping their feet in the sunshine. The atmosphere was laid back and fun, and the band delivered a set full of crowd-pleasers, such as the funky, groove-ridden ‘Living In A Dream’, and the epic, hard-hitting hit single, ‘Paralyzer’. Vocalist Scott Anderson’s powerful tones matched the soulful heaviness of the guitars, and the show was a thoroughly enjoyable slice of straight up, solid rock & roll.

What an amazing night in Peterborough Ontario at The Social! Texas King was a great opener! Royal Tusk was awesome to see live! Good energy from the band, very tight, and great music! Aftermath was my favorite song of the night! They played 2 encore songs and a tribute song for Chris for mental health awareness! ❤️ Royal Tusk
