Last Thursday we stopped by Wrongbar to check out indie revivalists Foxygen. We’ve been enjoying their latest album, We are the 21st Century Ambassadors of Peace and Magic, released earlier this year to critical acclaim. However, it’s clear from their [...]
From last May’s debut Mykki Blanco & The Mutant Angels, to late fall’s Cosmic Angel: The Illuminati Prince/ss mixtape, one thing is for sure: The entity that is Mykki Blanco is not your average human. Industrial, galatic and spastic (all in the best way possible), [...]
Last night Sacramento hard-core doom-rappers Death Grips and New York poet rapper Mykki Blanco brought a solid hustle to a sold out crowd at Wrongbar in Toronto. Made up almost entirely of dudes, the crowd waved along to Michael David Quattlebaum [...]
Approaching Wrongbar on Friday night, you could tell from far away that something good was happening inside. UK’s Disclosure were in town with support from Halifax’s Ryan Hemsworth. While the show wasn’t sold out earlier in the day, the long [...]
We arrived at Saturday’s super, super soldout SKTRKT show at Wrongbar just as Ango was finishing up his set. As it tends to be, the vibe at Wrongbar was great and the bar hot and sweaty. The screen behind the dj [...]
Omar Souleyman’s live show is a surreal slice of musical globalization. He started his career in his native Syria in the early 90’s as a wedding singer and has since appeared across Europe at major music festivals including Glastonbury and [...]

Saturdays at Wrongbar can be hit or miss, but we knew the mighty Com Truise would come through with his beats mid-fi synth-wave, slow-motion funk beats, especially on the heels of that Drive soundtrack everyone’s been loving for the past [...]
Electro-Chillwave group The M Machine, made up from three former members of Pance Party, currently signed to Skrillex’s label OWSLA are making a killing on the music scene right now! [...]
We definitely couldn’t tell you, but boy did we ever hint HARD! Remember early this week, when we said SBTRKT was performing and maybe Drake would come and perfrom the“Wildfire” remix live? Yeah, well guess what? Last night, July 8th, [...]
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 [...]
Last night we witnessed some good old fashioned dance music, not from a computer or turn table but with full band, just the way Australia usually brings it (read, Cut Copy). Melbourne’s trio (and sometimes quartet) Midnight Juggernauts jammed out hard [...]
