The band

In July 1994, a comet two kilometres wide — dubbed Shoemaker-Levy 9 — collided with Jupiter, an impact with enough force to have obliterated the Earth.

Struck by the sheer scale of that event, the band Shoemaker Levee took its name: an original alternative/indie act known for anthemic, introspective rock.

Since then, Shoemaker Levee has made the finals of 89.1 Max FM's Ticket to Tall Pines contest in both 2023 and 2024, headlined the Gussapolooza Music Festival, and earned regular airplay on radio stations both domestic and international.

Shoemaker Levee has played some of downtown Toronto's most iconic venues, including the El Mocambo, The Rivoli, and The Horseshoe Tavern. The band is also committed to supporting several charitable initiatives.
