The Perpetrators will be back in Europe again at the end of Oct-Nov following their successful tour and appearance in PEER at BRBF this summer. The band is hitting the road again, this time with Canada's blues legend, Big Dave McLean.

Once a not-so-well-kept secret in their hometown of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada - where they acted as house band for visiting blues legends Hubert Sumlin, Louisiana Red, Paul "Wine" Jones and others - The Perpetrators kicked things up a notch in 2006. A European tour capped off a Juno nomination and a win at the Western Canadian Music Awards. 2007 saw the band continue to expand and grow with the release of their third album, "Tow Truck" - an uncompromising expression of their varied musical influences that never loses sight of their blues roots.

It is nominated for two 2008 Western Canadian Music Awards - best blues and best independant recordings. Their fourth album, recorded live at their home base, Times Change High & Lonesome Club, will be released before they cross the ocean this fall for their fourth European tour.

"Blues for people who hate blues," they distill rock 'n' roll, punk and country into their heady houserockin' punch. Give them a stage, any stage and they'll put on the best show they can for whoever's there. Each one is a seasoned pro on their instrument of choice but, never afraid to take chances, the boys are fond of switching it up in an onstage game of musical chairs. To quote a much used and abused cliché, The Perpetrators have to be seen to be believed.
