Dangerband is Dead. Little Junior Debuts at Smiling Buddha.
Date of show: August 30, 2014 Written by: Chiara DiAngelo Toronto’s Dangerband has been pretty quiet this year. That’s because the band no longer exists. The five-piece featuring Rane Elliott-Armstrong (vocals, guitar), Lucas Meilach-Boston (vocals, guitar), Jackson Beyer (vocals, bass), Jacob Stanescu (keyboard, synthesizer), and Chai Elliott-Armstrong (drums) emerged from semi-hiatus on the last long […]
Hillside Night 1: HYDRA, Alvvays & More
Friday, July 25, 2014 We’ve been going to Hillside Festival in Guelph for three years now, and while this weekend didn’t have the greatest ending (Sunday night’s schedule got rained out), it’s still a weekend we look forward to all year! There are certain things about the festival that never change: the excitement felt getting […]
TURF Day 3: Hollerado, Jeff Tweedy, Gogol Bordello, July Talk & More
Sunday, July 6, 2014 Jon Langford & The Burlington Welsh Male Chorus (East Stage, 12:45PM) Devin Cuddy (South Stage, 12:50PM) The third day of a festival is often tough and can prove difficult to drag yourself to the grounds early. It was however worth the early morning in order to catch Devin Cuddy, whose set […]
TURF Day 2: Sam Roberts Band, Hey Rosetta!, The Gaslight Anthem & More
Saturday, July 5, 2014 Caitlin Rose (South Stage, 1:10PM) Day 2 of the festival began early in the afternoon, with Caitlin Rose on the South Stage. Boasting a voice more massive than you’d initially expect, a typical country starlet Rose is not. The Nashville native spun tenderhearted Opry-worthy ballads doused in the whiskey and cigarette […]
TURF Day 1: Beirut, Local Natives, Born Ruffians & More
Friday, July 4, 2014 In just its second year, the Toronto Urban Roots Festival has become one of our favourite weekends of the summer. Once again, Jeff Cohen and Co. at Collective Concerts compiled an extensive lineup that defied the typical boundaries of roots and folk. Taking advantage of one of the hills on location, […]
NXNE: Of Sound Mind at Edward Day Gallery
Sunday, June 22, 2014 People Put Out Productions and Sonic Boom teamed up to put on a great NXNE event at Edward Day Gallery. The event featured live music outside, but a record fair was held inside.

NXNE Unofficial: Audio Blood Throws a Rooftop Rager for NXNE
Saturday, June 21, 2014 Few things are more enjoyable than a rooftop party during North by North East. But Audio Blood found a way to up the ante, making the roof of a furniture store on Dufferin St. the absolute place to be that afternoon. With perfect weather on their side, they took it to […]
