We are still one of the highest productive BBQ teams on the road today, cooking the best Southern Style Bar-B-Que around – Slow smoked over hickory logs ensuring the tenderest meat and the most flavourful rib experience.

Dig out the rotary phones, cause the 80’s are calling! Moncton’s own Big Bang is here
to make sure you boogie down in like, totally awesome style, man. With their high
energy performance, Big Bang is a party band playing your favourite New Wave, Rock
& Pop hits of the 1980’s.
Along with their passion for playing live, Mel Keith (singer, rhythm guitar), Neil Kennedy
(lead guitar, effects), Craig Borden (bass) & Moe Fougere (drums) bring to life beloved
songs from the 80’s overlooked by a lot of retrospective bands out there today. “Our
hope and goal every time we go out there is to give people an amazing experience. To
come out, let loose, dance, sing along with us.”, says Keith.
Big Bang tackle a lot of songs that are very dependent on synthesizers, but guitarist Neil
Kennedy takes on the synth vibes with his mastery of effects & pedals with his electric
guitar on songs from multi-platinum selling artists like Simple Minds, INXS, Duran
Duran, Cyndi Lauper, A-ha, Eurythmics...
...the groups that have transcended their genre to become the most enduring
acts of their time are well represented at a Big Bang show.
“People of all ages have been pleasantly surprised at our shows because we are
doing fun, upbeat songs that they love that they haven’t heard many cover bands
perform for them before. Or that they haven’t heard in a while, or maybe, they are
hearing them for the first time. We approach them with an attention to detail that I
can definitely say is unique to Big Bang”, continues Keith.
2023 has been a year for Big Bang to continue to share their 80’s music love to fans
throughout the city, and they want to take you on a trip back where you can dance if
you want to, dance all night long, dance on the edge of 17, dance to your sweet
dreams, or however YOU dance - don’t stop believing & don’t you forget about...the
music of the 1980’s.
des années d'expérience sur scène de groupes tels que Madhouse, Scarlett, Sonic Pulp et Melonvine, lorsque vous assistez à un spectacle, préparez-vous à vous divertir avec de la bonne musique, du plaisir et une soirée mémorable. La fête commence maintenant !
