Dizzy Mystics, a psychedelic progressive rock band from Winnipeg, Canada, will be dishing out their tunes across Ontario this coming December in support of their latest singles and planned 2019 debut album “Wanderlost”. The tour will kick off in Selkirk, MB on Nov 30th and see the band trek a week through central Ontario wrapping up the fun in Sudbury on December 8th.
The band comments:
“We are over the moon to make our first journey through the Canadian Shield, and “Enter Ontario”! She’s a big beautiful province and her music scene is a vast ocean, but we aim to make waves.”

Earlier this year the band served up their third single “Diamond Duller”, the most hard hitting and jarring of the songs off the band’s upcoming 2019 debut album “Wanderlost”. Still retaining their colourful medley, the single expands further into their depths of psychedelic melody, pocket grooves, crushing intensity, mind bending passages, and catchy vocals.
The band explains:
“It’s a heavy track with a theme around the classic case of the grass being greener and taking things for granted. With a metal base, there are pronounced elements of melodic hard rock and funk. Full of cryptic imagery and metaphors, super jazzy bass lines and progressive guitar riffs this track is sure to be a favourite for fans of Mastodon, Led Zeppelin and The Mars Volta.”

Dizzy Mystics Soup for the Rocker’s Soul;
2 cups Psychedelic
2 cups Progressive
1 cup Hearty 70’s Metal
3 tbsp. Jazz
3 tbsp. Funk
2 tbsp. Folk
1 tbsp. Soul
A pinch of Celtic Pepper is optional
(Measurements of each ingredient are subject to change for each batch made)
As the recipe implies, rock music is the spoon that stirs the soup, and no genre (or spice) is out of the question for Dizzy Mystics. Climbing out the stock pot in 2015, Dizzy Mystics are a psychedelic rock band based out of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. One can expect a dynamically diverse, tastefully complex, and energetic dose of adventurous hard rock with feet moving rhythmic swagger, and stargazing melodies.

“It is clear that Dizzy Mystics may be among the most unique of the vibrant Canadian rock scene to be delivering tracks that will leave fans of classic, progressive, and 90’s alternative rock excited for what is to come.” – Canadian Beats
“Mysticism aside, this band certainly got the “dizzy” part right! The Winnipeg rock quartet Dizzy Mystics offer up a staggering musical concoction that, considering its progressive and experimental flair, is surprisingly radio-ready. Think Rush and Primus drinking wine with Tool before dropping acid with Frank Zappa and checking out a jazz club with Steely Dan. Dizzying, right? Jokes aside, frontman Kyle Halldorson, guitarist Alexandre Joyal, drummer Jeffrey Laird and bassist Aaron Bacon have some serious chops and, with the right amount of work, gigging and outside help, this Canadian act has the potential to not only see the end of the tarmac, but to also take off!” – PureGrainAudio
“Diamond Duller moves and groves, in interesting rhythms, changing from one beat to another, shifting and clanging with energy. The vocals bring about high energy and ensure the listener is hooked from the get go.” – The Median Man
“The quartet has crafted a psychedelic and progressive sound upon many others including melodic hard rock and funk. The band takes you through a heavy and psychedelic trip on their latest single.” – Technical Music Review

As the recipe implies, rock music is the spoon that stirs the soup, and no genre (or spice) is out of the question for Dizzy Mystics. Climbing out the stock pot in 2015, Dizzy Mystics are a psychedelic rock band based out of Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. One can expect a dynamically diverse, tastefully complex, and energetic dose of adventurous hard rock with feet moving rhythmic swagger, and stargazing melodies.
In the beginning, Kyle Halldorson found himself with an abundance of appetizing songs he had written on his own, and without suitable musicians to bring them to fruition, he tracked everything at his home studio, along with phenom Aaron Edgar to perform the drums. While getting the recordings mixed at Winnipeg’s Private Ear Studios by John Paul Peters, Kyle recruited Alexandre Joyal (guitarist), then Jeff Laird (drums), and Aaron Bacon (bassist) to help serve up their debut main course album “The Wanderlost” and start performing live.
Kyle reflects the inspiration for the band name: “Dizzy Mystics first came to mind based on the flow of the words; the meaning is based on the ego of human beings individually, and as a whole. We’re all self proclaimed mystics or prophets, but dizzy in our vision or direction.”
They are a hearty, intense band that take great care and pride in their live performances and recordings. Emotive lyrics that are written cryptically paint vivid pictures of the world we live in. They incorporate seamless interludes where appropriate to let the music take the listener on a delicious sonic journey that will nourish and satisfy.
