What better way to start off the week than to head over to the Hard Luck for some PBRs and BC punk? On April 22nd, Vancouver act White Lung stopped by Toronto to tear our Monday night a new one. Made [...]
Perth psych rockers Tame Impala landed at a very packed Kool Haus on Saturday night in Toronto and though we missed them last time they were in Toronto, we’re no strangers to their live set. Playing new hits like “Elephant,” [...]
On Wednesday night Brooklyn’s Grizzly Bear brought their stunning new record Sheilds to life in one of Toronto’s most prolific live music venues. Warming up inside Massey Hall, the band chose a couple of the albums opening tracks “Speak In Rounds” and “Adelma”, [...]
After touring for over five weeks in Canada, Austra finally returned home last night to the beyond packed Phoenix Concert Theater with Tasseomancy and Young Galaxy opening. Lead vocalist Katie Stelmanis expressed her gratitude almost right away by relating back [...]
Tuesday night at Toronto’s Mod Club San Francisco’s GIRLS headlined a sold out show to a crowd of die-hard fans in support of their recent release Father, Son, Holy Ghost along with PAPA and NOBUNNY who are also California natives [...]
Last Saturday we caught Ireland’s Two Door Cinema Club headlining Toronto’s Kool Haus supported by London’s Bombay Bicycle Club. We were pretty taken aback at how huge a crowd a band with one album managed to pull, especially when we [...]
Last Wednesday in Toronto there was a massive rain storm complete with lightening, tigers and bears, (oh my) so we almost didn’t make it to The War On Drugs show at Drake Underground (no, really, it was pretty darn frightening [...]
Last night we went to a slightly impromptu show at Horseshoe featuring New York buzz band Cults, who we’ll see again in a weeks time at Coachella, and Memphis trop-pop rockers Magic Kids. [...]
Saturday night at Toronto’s Phoenix Concert Theatre Denmark rock duo The Raveonettes played to a sizeable crowd with their touring band. We were a little unenthused about missing LCD Soundsystem’s live stream of their farewell show, but were just as pumped [...]
Friday night at Toronto’s Horseshoe Tavern Denver husband and wife duo Tennis made a pretty good case against their respective fear of becoming pidgeon holed as a too cute band. Though their stage presence is quite adorable, it’s a legitimate fear for [...]
Thursday night at a mega sold out Wrongbar, California four-piece synth poppers Abe Vigoda and one man dream wave band Wild Nothing showed Toronto what all the fuzzed out hype was about. We’ve been really digging Virginia’s Wild Nothing and [...]
Sweden’s Radio Dept. never tour, or so we thought until we heard the tour announcement late last year after they dropped their third full length album Clinging To A Scheme. After many months spent looping the album that was a no brainer [...]
Wednesday night at an oversold Horseshoe, Bushwick transplant Twin Shadow took to the stage in Toronto for the second time since November when he opened and overshadowed Glasser at the Drake. With Toronto’s chill wave solo act Foxes in Fiction opening this [...]
Late on Wednesday night following Kuroma, Stardeath & White Dwarfs, Perth psychedelica buzz band Tame Impala played their sold out debut in Toronto. The Horseshoe was packed with a decidedly chilled older crowd of mostly bearded men (about 60% I’d say) [...]
Remembrance day was especially unforgettable for us this year seeing Brooklyn’s Twin Shadow perform most of their debut album, aptly titled Forget. Respectfully sporting a poppy on his mustard-coloured leather coat, the talkative George Lewis Jr. queried the packed Drake [...]
