Rheos return to Massey Hall April 29 2016

Rheostatics at Massey Hall, Toronto, April 29, 2016. This will be the first time playing here -- and the first time playing anything other than Music Inspired by G07 -- since 2007, which was intended to be our final show. Our experiences reforming and playing in September w/ Hugh Marsh and Kevin Hearn were so great that we thought we'd walk down this road a little more, and try and bring new life to older material, as well as new works, which we hope to debut in the spring. The tickets here are only 30 dollars top price -- everyone should be able to go, we hope. Thanks to everyone who listens. We're excited about this. We love you.

Rheos inducted into Independent Music Hall of Fame

The Rheostatics joined Eric's Trip as 2009 inductees into the Independent Music Hall of Fame, which is presented by Zunior.com.

The band's groundbreaking contributions to Canadian music over more than two decades, and its unfailing support of fledgling bands on the independent scene, are among the factors that led to their selection.

Most Rheos releases are available for digital download through Zunior.

Rheostatics play for an old friend

On October 24, Dave Bidini hosted a celebration of the life and times of Canadian author Paul Quarrington, whose novel Whale Music has figured so prominently in the history of the Rheostatics and whose friendship has meant so much to its members. Paul has been diagnosed with inoperable lung cancer.

The occasion included a Rheostatics 'reunion,' some of which was caught on video and in still photos. Dave Clark and Don Kerr were both present, as was Kevin Hearn, a frequent guest collaborator over the years.

Desmond Howl has posted a video of the Rheos performing "Claire" to YouTube.
