THE STORY
The Full Story
Known for their high energy and electric feel,
The Drip embodies an era of Rock that is destined
for revival. Inspired by bands like Black Sabbath,
Motorhead, and Jimi Hendrix; The Sunset Drip’s
music propels you on a time machine to the
classic rock era of the 1970s, adding their modern
twist, to create an entire new era of rock music.
Mick Moss (lead vocals/bass) and Brando Gear
(lead guitar/vocals) met in the Montreal music
scene while both involved in other projects. They moved in together and created their own recording studio, LackHaüs Records, by the age of twenty three. In May 2018; their other projects dissolved and they created The Sunset Drip with fellow Montreal musician, Anthony Valmora (drummer).
​
Over the next two years, they created music and
played the downtown Montreal circuit. The band used the global pandemic starting in 2020 to continue writing music for their first EP; Bad Driver, which was released in June 2021, mastered and mixed by members of The Damn Truth, Tom Shemer and Dave Traina. Their title track “Where is the Sun” landed coverage with major local media, such as The Suburban, The Montreal Gazette, and Montreal’s #1 FM rock radio Chom 97.7, where the song remained for 40 weeks. CBC Radio 1 interviewed Moss on a nationwide broadcast and host Duke Eatmon commented on how the band is “...Dripping with character…”. That summer, the band toured in Canada, creating noise and fans along the way.
2022 brought with it many changes for The Sunset Drip. With a heavy heart, LackHaüs Records closed its doors, as the band put their focus on new music. The group headed for a cabin deep in the woods near Mont Megantic, Quebec where they set up and spent 8 full days and nights recording their next EP. With the help of Patrick Kreif (mixing) and Ryan Morey (mastering), the new batch of songs were complete. With Summer 2022 drawing to a close, Valmora decided to leave the band to pursue different interests. The duo found drummer Michel Paradis, a seasoned and educated session musician, who promptly and excitedly joined the project. With this newly forged trio, The Sunset Drip was ready to rock everyone’s socks off.
​
The last year has been one wild ride for The Sunset Drip. They opened for Juno-nominated band Harm & Ease in November 2022 and again in August 2023 at the Fairmount Theatre, where they also had the opportunity to open for The Dead Daisies. Their 2023 summer tour kicked off in Toronto at The El Mocambo’s Canadian Music week, where they were praised by the locals. LoudTO stated that The Sunset Drip “Totally brought the thunder!! AND LIGHTNING!” With the release of their new singles “Ivory” and “Midnight Walker Blues,” their fans went wild, selling out shows in their hometown, such as L’Escogriffe Bar de Spectacle.
​
Currently, The Sunset Drip is working on new material and preparing for their much anticipated EP release. They are looking forward to playing at Club Soda for Billy Bob Productions’ event “Bang a Gong,” a celebration of Glam rock, which will showcase Montreal’s top talent.
As The Sunset Drip continues to dominate the music scene with their powerful voices, eclectic style, and powerhouse riffs, you can tell that this band is destined for greatness.
