Name that band:


Is it Kilowatt?

We’re not certain but this promo shot from the early ‘80s features Dallcorte Records’ Tim Trombley bookended by Bernie “the attorney” and Marty Onrot whooping it up with Q107’s Gary Slaight. Canadian indie imprint Dallcorte was short-lived but had a couple of big hits with (licensed) Elkie Brooks and The Drivers - a Brit-pop band whose debut album was produced by Terry Brown featuring singer Nick Van Eede who went on to glory with (I Just) Died In Your Arms Tonight (also produced by Brown).

For those too young to remember, Kilowatt included Guess Who alumni Bill Wallace and Greg Leskiw and the group's debut album was produced by Domenic Troiano.

Diljit Dosanjh Has Arrived: The Rise of a Global Star

The first time the Punjabi singer and actor came to Canada, he vowed to play at a stadium. With the Dil-Luminati Tour in 2024, he made it happen – setting a record in the process. As part of Billboard's Global No. 1s series, Dosanjh talks about his meteoric rise and his history-making year.

Throughout his history-making Dil-Luminati Tour, Diljit Dosanjh has a line that he’s repeated proudly on stage, “Punjabi Aa Gaye Oye” – or, “The Punjabis have arrived!”

The slogan has recognized not just the strides made by Diljit, but the doors his astounding success has opened for Punjabi music and culture.
