The Deadly Hiyas
Hailing from Victoria, The Deadly Hiyas are a psychedelic rock and roll band with a mix of funk and grunge. Although every member is from a different province, they have come together in the name of music to share their love and influences to the music community! Alex their front man and song writer moved from Edmonton, Alberta in search for new adventures to share his songs with more of Canada. Subsequently finding musicians from the open mic he came across at the Mint, he met Pete Gowan, and Joey, who all share the same love for the 90s era of music and the energy from 70s rock and roll ! From then on its been a wild ride reforming these songs into what they are now with only more to come!!
