Product Information / Nutrition Facts

Goin' Steady is the ever-popular, long-running 50's & 60's themed dance party which has consistently packed venues around Toronto since its premiere in July 2005. It was the party that led to the discovery of The Boat in Kensington Market and has since graced numerous stages around the city, including the Gladstone Ballroom, Footwork Bar, The Garrison and Lee's Palace. The party was dreamt up by three friends looking to create a different kind of party atmosphere; one that would capture the raw energy of the golden age of youth music without relying on tired retro cliches.

The tight knit team of Louis Calabro, Matt Cully and Wolfgang Nessel dug deep into the past to find the most electrifying, most essential rhythm & blues, outlining the blueprint of rock and roll in each of their unique sets. Since Nessel's departure in 2007, Cully and Calabro have continued to turn audiences on to the best of old fashioned beat music; from jump blues to doo-wop, swing to calypso, girl groups to surf and the weird and unseen world of American and international rock music.
