The Alter Kakers are a three-piece indie rock band from Toronto. This rock and roll trio is comprised of Steve Bronstein on guitar/vocals, Cary Corvair on bass/vocals and Dan Barsi on drums. The members all met while playing in another band called The Dropjoys and after Steve left the band Cary and he kept jamming for fun which led to asking Dan to join in. It didn’t take long for them to figure out this new chemistry would lead to expanded creativity with new songs, broader musical palettes and endless stages to grace.
The Alter Kakers have been a constant fixture on the Toronto music scene recording and performing music together for over 12 years. Their music, like them, is constantly evolving. Join them to see where they go!
