We know we’ve been pretty quit lately, and we’re sure some of you are wondering whats been goin on.  Well, we took sometime this summer to chill, and in doing so ended up writing some new tunes.  Yes, a new Crisp Album is in the works, and we are really stoked about some of these new songs we’re writing.  We’ve been putting a lot more into the production in the studio, and we’re focusing on a bigger sound.  We’ve decided to give you guys a taste of whats goin on, with this new single entitled “Growin’ Up”.  We recruited a few amazing musicians to add some flavour to this new tune. We’d like to thank Nelson Beattie for his soulful sax solo, Jay D. Stiles for his funky organ layers, and Fearghas Gundy for his busting trombone in the chorus section.  They take our sound and the song to a whole new level.  The song is a tribute to the fact that we all grow up, but we can always stay young at heart.  You can grab the song on iTunes and stream it live on soundcloud and YouTube. We’ll be celebrating the release of “Growin’ Up” with a party at The Mansion House, Downtown St. Catharines on Friday August, 28th.  Come down and party with us and our pals Pindles for a night of funky jams. We are very excited to hear your feedback on the new tune, cause you guys are the reason we do this.  We hope the positivity in our music puts a smile on your face and some rhythm in your heart beat. Peace!

Formed in 2008 by lead singer Kyle Petch (aka humbleHAB) Theatre Crisp took a full year to practice and polish their sound to the point where it was sure to turn heads before debuting at their first show. Theatre Crisp hit the scene hard in 2009 delivering a fresh sound to the Hip-Hop community with truly original music and their unique “Funk-Hop” style.

” It would seem to be impossible for a band to create a fresh sound, since so many new artists follow the ruts worn deep by those who came before. But I was surprised, in the best way, by a band called Theatre Crisp…It was the best time I've had at a concert in a really long time.” Erin Wilson Studios

The band claims their sound comes from the fact that each member originates from a distinct musical background; ranging from underground Hip-Hop, Classic Rock, Metal, Blues and Jazz which can all be detected in their songs.

After 3 years of playing countless shows, 2012 was marked as a big year for Theatre Crisp with the release of their debut full length album, “Modern Daze”. Winning Best Original Group of 2012 at the NMA’s on top of being nominated for: Best Male Vocalist, Original Song of the year and Best Music Video. Finally; being granted an opening spot on a tour with BC’s Current Swell on top of countless other shows helped earn the band more popularity and coverage leading into 2013.

Theatre Crisp is wasting no time in 2013 by spending time in the studio for their upcoming album (expected to be released in late 2013) while balancing a busy year of shows and festivals already being booked. 2013 is also important because the band welcomes their newest member; drummer, Jared Goerz!

The rest of Theatre Crisp consists: of lead vocalist/rhythm guitarist Kyle Petch (humbleHAB), lead guitar/producer Jay Baty, bassist Peter Goertz and finally 3 time world tap dance champion David Cox adds to the mix to create another layer of percussion and visual spectacle!

The band’s unique cross genre sound has allowed them to play with a vast array of artists like: Bedouin Soundclash, USS, Current Swell, D-Sisive, Dinosaur Bones, Saint Alvia, The Balconies, Organ Thieves, StereoKid, Rebel Emergency, The Johnstones, LMT Connection, Scratch (from The Roots), and My Son The Hurricane just to name a few.

Theatre Crisp writes their tunes for people who love life and love having a good time. It’s the type of music you could dance your ass off to, or just sit back and chill out.
