Band History
Bombargo is a Canadian based international touring band formed in 2013 by Nathan Thoen and Spencer Chilliak who were inspired to start a band after attending the Sasquatch Music Festival.[1] In 2015 the duo released their debut EP titled Back on Main which would go on to be included in “The Top 10 Best Saskatchewan Albums of 2015."[2] Two years later, the band released their first full length album titled We Are Bombargo in May of 2017.[3]
In December of 2017, Bombargo released their single titled Mr. No Good which Taylor Swift added to her Spotify Playlist ‘Songs Taylor Loves’ in February of 2018. Bombargo was the only unsigned Canadian artist on the 43 track playlist which featured established international artists including Kendrick Lamar, Camila Cabella and Ed Sheeran.[4]
In August of 2018, Bombargo released their single "Oxygen" which went on to peak at #41 on the Billboard Canada Hot AC Chart and #38 on the MediaBase Canadian Hot AC Pop Chart in September of 2019.
Bombargo made their US touring debut in September of 2019 as party of their 33-date ‘North American Dream Tour’.[1]
