The Canadian Foundation for AIDS Research (CANFAR) was founded in 1987 and aims to end Canada’s HIV epidemic by leading national strategies to increase prevention, testing, treatment and linkage to care, and to end HIV stigma. AIDSBeat is the definitive rock-and-roll event of Toronto's legal community, having raised over $4.5 million in support of CANFAR's investments in research and community-based initiatives for almost three decades.

Some say a rock band is nothing more than karaoke for the delusional. Yet from our first practice in a grungy basement rehearsal space, we knew it could be so much more. What started with transporting guitars via TTC in a bag of pillows has grown into dreams of a tour bus. A reason to acquire 31 flavours (and counting) of distortion pedals. A way to get in our cardio without touching a treadmill. A form of alternative musical worship. A way to guilt our friends into attending concerts we like — because we’re in them. To finally have something interesting to say when someone asks: “So, what do you do for fun?” United in studio and on stage as Sound Prediction, Kaitlin (vocals, keyboard), Will (guitar, vocals), Chris (bass), and Mitch (drums) know this truth: it’s a great feeling to answer, “I’m in a rock band.”
