Mills Hardware Presents K-Man & the 45s Fri, Mar 13 at 8:00 PM @ Mills Hardware

One of Canada’s most well-known and loved Ska bands, K-Man & The 45s‘ relentless touring and hyper active live shows keep turning heads. Their critically acclaimed Self-Titled album came out in 2016 and there’s been no slowing down since (barring the pandemic blip). Fan-favourite songs such as “I Don’t Mind” and “Space Thriller” cemented them in the scene while festival plays and relentless touring brought them to the four corners of the globe. Playing alongside greats like the Voodoo Glow Skulls, The Planet Smashers, The Original Wailers, Big D and The Kids Table, The Slackers levelled up their fanbase and live show. With the release of Stand With The Youth, the band was solidified in the national and international Ska and Punk scenes. Everything was going great… until the COVID call came in and everything shut down. Completely devastated, beaten by a pandemic and divorce, K-Man spent his time in a little house isolated on the side of a mountain by a lake. Here he wrote the songs for Primed To Go. Self reflection let to the realization that life is just better on the road (a major them of the album). Primed To Go feels like a more complete album than their past efforts and shows the growth of the band. Always energetic and just as refreshing this new album tips its hat to the original Ska genre with the band’s signature rock ’n’ Roll attitude front and center.

Arcade Allstars are a high-energy ska collective hailing from Kitchener and Toronto, Ontario. The Allstars made their live debut in 2023, quickly capturing audiences with tight horns, danceable rhythms, and catchy songwriting that blends multiple eras of Ska with other genre influences. While their hooks are energetic and catchy, the Allstars are using their music to share messages about mental health, struggles with addictions, and general stigmas surrounding the human experience.  Their independently produced debut EP Insert Coin released Nov 3, 2023, and hit over 1600 streams in the first two weeks. With the release of their debut full length album Destined 4 Disaster on November 7, 2025 the Arcade Allstars continue to cultivate and grow a dedicated fanbase across the Province and beyond, whether it be intimate venue shows or larger festival stages. Sharing the stage with bands like The Planet Smashers, The Last Gang, IllScarlett and Bedouin Soundclash, Arcade Allstars have no plans of slowing down.
