The History of Gunpowder is a five piece experimental rock band from Montreal. Drawing inspiration from blues, soul, jazz, funk and punk, the music exists as an ordered chaos, elevated by the band’s affiliation with Montreal’s finest burlesque dancers and performance artists, who often perform original numbers alongside the band. The live performances are unpredictable, highly visual affairs that blend genres and unconventional compositional styles, making the History of Gunpowder a thrilling alternative to the typical live music experience.
