artist The Order Of Good Cheer

The Order Of Good Cheer The Order of Good Cheer (L'Ordre de Bon Temps) in its historical legend was a smashing peelers club. Samuel de Champlain organized a club for men to get through the rough Canadian winters where those could indulge in a monthly orgy of food, drink, and the touch of French strippers. In 2009, Toronto scene legends and core members, Francesco Guidoccio, David Tysowski, Chris Greenough and Kyle Wilson created the music collective, The Order Of Good Cheer, to celebrate the essence and spirit of the original club through music. The Order today is unique in many ways: it collects no initiation fee, charges no dues and gathers for feasting on BBQ, spirits and music. In early 2010 The Order Of Good Cheer started recording their debut album “Tanto Manta, Manta Tanto” with Toronto hot-shot guitarist and producer Steve Krecklo (Cuff The Duke, K-Os, Small Sins, Major Maker). The Cheer enlisted their friends and trusted associate Cheer members for guest album appearances. Everyone from Liam O'Niel (The Stills), Lindy Vopnford (Major Maker), Thom Darcy (All Systems Go, Small Sins), Todor Kobakov (Emily Haines), Steven Senkiew (The Waking Eyes) and enigmatic Craig “The Doctor” Brown all had their chance to be a part of history. Prior to completing recording, early mixes found fans and music placements in the filmmaker Kevin Smith's (Clerks, Dogma, Zak & Miriam Make a Porno) documentary film, “Bear Nation” and hit iTunes podcast “Smodcast”. This four on floor, real rock country record was already picking up steam from its humble beginnings in Toronto's Kensington Market to their recent sold-out efforts with The Arkells and Hollerado at such legendary venues as the El Mocambo and Horseshoe Tavern. The Cheer invites all to participate in the glorious and sensual journey in the contribution to the world of Rock and Roll. The band is known for their lush, multi-layered, rock-country, post-punk, psychedelic arrangements, spacey lyrics and bizarre song titles. They are also acclaimed for their elaborate live shows which sometimes feature costumes, dancing girls, video projections, complex stage light configurations, large amounts of food and drink, and frontman Francesco Guidoccio's larger than life, bigger then Jesus meets Elvis persona.
