Runaway Kit with Varitones & Special Guests
Runaway Kit is an Ottawa based alternative rock band blending driving guitars, dynamic keys, and a distinctive saxophone edge into a high energy, emotionally driven sound. Fronted by powerful female vocals, the band draws influence from artists like Blondie, Metric, and No Doubt, combining pop rock sensibilities with a modern alternative sound. Formed in 2024, the band quickly built momentum through live performances across the Ottawa scene. Their debut single Wired World, released April 18, 2026, marks the band’s first studio release and introduces their energetic, hook driven sound. The band consists of Tiffany Schilkie (lead vocals & guitar), Noémie Bergeron (keys & backing vocals), Kyle Kierstead (bass), Duncan Fyffe (saxophone) and Martin Chiasson (drums). Their music explores themes of identity, escape, and modern life.

Varitones is a Rock and Roll band known for bringing the energy and feel of rock’s greatest eras forwards into the modern landscape. Through gritty riffs, powerful vocals, bombastic drums, tight bass grooves and dynamic keyboards, they seek to make their mark on modern music. On their latest album “From the Bedlam” (released June 2026), they deliver a diverse collection of songs that are raw, uncompromising, mysterious and overflowing with energy.
This sonic blueprint translates into an electrifying live show where everything is left on the stage. Where the amps roar, the cymbals are bashed, and most importantly, all audiences are left blown away.
