Local Music Scene Trivia Facts ----
  • Home to tons of local bands
  • Often host to high caliber out-of-town shows by bands ranging from the unknown (ie Mudlark) to major touring acts (ie Alice Cooper).
  • Local bands usually play both "all-local" and "locals-opening-for-outoftowner(s)" shows.
  • Local bands make barely any music in this town. Most shows are played for free by locals to give out-of-towners more money for touring and to make it feasible for the out-of-towners to come to Thunder Bay
  • Thunder Bay has amazing scenery if you explore the great outdoors.
  • Thunder Bay has a strong underground artists community.
  • Tomsin (singer, Dishonourable Discharge & Trenchfoot) once jumped onstage at Kilroys and lit his pubic hair on fire while another band was playing. He was banned from the venue and had to miss a few of Trenchfoot's gigs there because of it. They played just without him.
