Part dance, part world music and truly indie, Idlers have redefined stage-presence and musicality through overflowing energy and social-consciousness. Oodles of sweat fueled shows, long nights of rehearsal, and an amazing team of performers, writers and arrangers have led Idlers to bring home numerous awards and accolades from across the country. Four years running, Idlers are the �Best Band to Dance To� on St. John�s famed George St.

�The band gives 110%!� (The Coast). Kissing goodbye to families and work, Idlers bring their non-stop intelligent dance party across Canada from February to April.

"My heart beats for the road and the friends we'll meet and re-meet! Two months of sweet sweat, two months of big crowds, two months of incredible music. The road brings Idlers to a pinpoint focus that moves you and grooves you with Atlantic tides of dancing energy. We'll sway the wide country with our conscious & hard hitting beats, rhythms, and life. I love everything that the audience brings to the show. I want more. (Mark Wilson, vocals & trumpet)

Their latest release, Keep Out, is Idlers� second studio project. Recorded with Bad Brains� Darryl Jenifer in New York, it gave the band a chance to draw on their founding as a roots-reggae group. The result is a hard-hitting collection of 11 songs, ideal for parties, backyard margaritas, BBQ�s, road trips, and clubs the world over. You can hear, and of course buy, both Keep Out and their debut release Corner at http://idlers.ca.
