Move over Doc and Marty McFly - we've got some new time travellers on the block!

Based on the fabled web series from 2007 Nirvana the Band the Show, and subsequently based on the 2017 TV show Nirvanna the Band the Show, Toronto-based music duo Matt Johnson and Jay McCarol have been attempting to book a gig at the Rivoli club. But that was seventeen years ago.

Now in 2025, the duo attempt to finally get booked by pretending they're time travellers from the past. That is until they actually accidentally end up travelling back to the year 2008!

But will they manage to get back to the future in one piece? Or will they manage to mess things up for them in the meantime?
