POP EVIL

I finally got the chance to talk to LEIGH KAKATY. He’s the lead singer of Michigan’s POP EVIL who currently have the number one song at Rock Radio in USA. Besides talking about the usual band business, include their new video for “Footsteps” and a string of Canadian tour dates, I wanted to dig into his KINGSTON ONTARIO roots. Yeah, he’s a hoser, born in the city that not only gave us our first Prime Minister, Sir John A., but Gord Downie & Gord Sinclair of The Tragically Hip, Hugh Dillon of The Headstones, Bryan Adams, Bruce Cockburn, Sarah Harmer, Zal Yanovsky of The Lovin’ Spoonful & Bruce McDonald of Kids In The Hall. He talks them relocating to Michigan but staying in touch with family in Kingston & London Ontario and that his band Pop Evil will be playing Canada more often.
