Down With Webster is inviting Toronto residents to perform their best renditions of the iconic CanCon band’s hits at a special karaoke night devoted specifically to their songs.
Whether you can still somehow conjure up every word to “Rich Girl$” (“Clink, cheers,” never gets old) 17 years after it first dropped, or you’re more of a “Whoa Is Me” person, your time to shine may have finally arrived.
This September, Down With Webster, the Beaches-born rap rock group that defined Toronto’s post-recession airwaves, wants to hear the covers of their songs you’ve fine-tuned over nearly two decades of road trips along the 401 and late nights of partying that turn into early-morning Timmies runs.
On Tuesday, Sept. 15, the band is taking over the Monarch Tavern for a karaoke night devoted solely to Down With Webster songs, and no worries if your fandom extends far beyond the hits: the band welcomes “deep cuts and b-sides” on top of the requisite “She’s Dope” and “Your Man.”
Space is limited to 120 tickets available for $20 at the door, and will be given out on a first-come, first-served basis, but you can make your intention to attend known by RSVPing to their Partiful link.
Want to request your song of choice? The band has even shared an email address where you can nail down your song selection.
At a time when the things that define Ontario seem increasingly under attack, it’s a relief to know that we’ll always have Down With Webster to remind us where we come from.
