Half Past Four
Half Past Four is a progressive art-rock band from Toronto that writes and performs original music that is both true to the genre and distinctly its own. The band has spent years developing its catalogue and stage show, evolving from its early experimental work into a tight, highly expressive live act that combines intricate arrangements with theatrical and comedic moments and a genuine connection with the audience. Recent performances at Terra Incognita in Québec and progressive-rock festivals in France and Italy have been met with an enthusiastic response, making Half Past Four a natural fit for festivals, concert halls and venues looking to present a memorable live show.
“The sheer joy that Ms. Vibrant and the musicians were having was palpable. That this enjoyment was contagious was evident in the fact that this was the only performance of the three days where the audience (without prompting from the stage!) chanted the band's name, and they did so even during the concert. ”
“Half Past Four brought an unpredictable avant-prog electric shock to the festival — a whirlwind of shifting time signatures, rhythmic twists, technical complexity and theatrical energy ”
“A thrilling, bizarre and intensely theatrical performance — a whirlwind of technical complexity, jazz improvisation and musical absurdity, led by the charismatic Kyree Vibrant”
“Surprised and won over the Veruno audience, blending art rock, jazz-fusion, cabaret and hard-rock energy with an unmistakable theatrical flair.”
“Half Past Four brought their eclectic progressive sound to Veruno, led by the magnetic presence of Kyree Vibrant and a band driven by intricate structures, shifting meters and complete musical freedom ”
“Half Past Four made me bob my head, stamp my foot, clap my hands, dig out my smart phone and make notes… This band was just a delight to watch and hear — *The Progressive Aspect, Summer’s End Festival, UK, 2017* ”
