LES KILT

About Me


We’re a Toronto based guild. It’s hard to come up with a blanket label for what we do – most of what we play falls into one of two categories; the rest falls into a third. If you're listening right now you'll have to guess whether it's a category 1, 2 or 3 song.
New stuff is coming....which may necessitate new categories.
Appreciate the patience.
Also, keep an ear out for our tunes (Coffee and the Constellations, Never Met, and (White Lies)) in the movie "Weapon" (or as it's known in the US "Cyborg Soldier"). For you those of Saved by the Bell vintage you'll appreciate that it stars among others one Tiffany Amber Thiessen.
EP:Les Kilt. March 2005
LP1:Coffee and the Constellations. Feb 2006
LP2:A Foreign Languish. Feb 2008
