A killer night of Canadian indie rock is coming to The Toucan this April.

The Lazarettes bring their gritty, guitar-driven sound to the stage—blending garage rock attitude with melodic hooks and a raw, modern edge. Known for their high-energy live shows and tight, punchy songwriting, the band has been making waves with a sound that feels both nostalgic and fresh. Expect big riffs, driving rhythms, and a set that hits hard from start to finish.

Joining them is Ron Hawkins (of The Lowest of the Low), one of Canada’s most respected and enduring songwriters. As the frontman of The Lowest of the Low, Hawkins helped define a generation of Canadian indie rock with sharp lyrics, unforgettable melodies, and a fiercely loyal following. His solo performances carry that same spirit—intimate, powerful, and deeply authentic, with songs that have stood the test of time.

Together, this lineup delivers the perfect balance of raw band energy and iconic songwriting—an essential night for fans of Canadian music.
