Evil Farm Children

The name may sound like a B-grade drive-in horror flick, but they are a raw and raunchy trio from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada with a a growing legion of fans, and reputation for intense stage shows. Their sound is real rock'n'roll, with a roots-rock flavour. The band can easily do a rocking surf instrumental with the fervor of [artist, and, in a heartbeat, shift gears to roll right into a rockin' rockabilly rave up, or a Stooges influenced, feedback infused, pounding rock'n'roll song.

Since forming in the summer of 2005, this trio has been regularly playing many of Ottawa's live music venues, as well as in Toronto, Montreal, and several cities in Southern Ontario. They were invited to perform at the 2008 Ottawa Blues Festival, one of the most popular music festivals in North America. Their original material, as captured in their recordings matters most, but for their live shows, the band likes to have fun by whipping out some heavily ?Evil-ized? versions of songs by the likes of Dick Dale, Black Sabbath, Tom Waits, Deke Dickerson, Conway Twitty & Loretta Lynn, Link Wray, and, even Alice Cooper.
