Bokomaru

Bokomaru have played in the spirit of the Grateful Dead around Montreal for more than forty years, long enough that their Halloween night at the Wheel Club in NDG is an institution in its own right — the 2026 edition is the forty-first. They take their name from the Bokononist ritual in Vonnegut's Cat's Cradle, which is about as Dead a thing as a band can do without quoting a song. They publish their dates on their own site and play rooms around the city rather than touring.
