About
What is an Alter Kaker?
It’s a Yiddish term; it means an old fart. Is this band a group of Alter Kakers? Probably, but think of it this way: to become an Alter Kaker you need to have the will to never give up or stop trying, and that’s what they have. They go by the adage that the biggest obstacle to a band succeeding is them breaking up. And by the way, the easiest way to pronounce the band name is by remembering how it rhymes: Alter Kakers like mother truckers.
The Alter Kakers are an indie rock band from Toronto with Steve Bronstein on guitar and vocals, Cary Corvair on bass and vocals, and Dan Barsi on drums. They formed after meeting in another local band called The Dropjoys and noticing they had a shared sense of music and humor.
Their current single, called The Great Upheaval, builds on the success of their previous singles, When You’re Gone, and Stopped Being In Love. “The Great Upheaval” is a song describing a painter of an art movement in the 1900’s while comparing art and fame to the influencer culture of today. It has an old school Brown Sugar feel with a straight ahead rock beat, two guitars and a blistering solo. Recorded by Toronto producer Dean Marino (The Black Keys).
