[Note: We couldn’t manage to round up all the members at the same time, but Amanda did get this epic shot of Rob Janson. Not pictured: bottle of Crown.] Date of show: September 17, 2010 Shot of choice: We never bothered to ask because instead of doing shots, we drank Crown Royal straight from the […]

Date of show: September 17, 2010 The Darcys is a band I have been meaning to see for the better part of 2010 and they’ve been on my radar since their 2007 debut release, Endless Water. For some reason, the stars never aligned to make this happen until now. I am full of regret for […]

Date of show: September 17, 2010 Shot of choice: Make Your Exit did a shot of jager, after some debating Southern Souls’ Mitch Fillion put on a fundraiser for the site and Rachel was able to shoot it. Seeing as I was not at this event (and believe me, if I were able to be […]

Date of show: September 16, 2010 We had the pleasure of attending the very first show at Rancho Relaxo put on by The Indie Machine. We want to give a shout out to Dave and Ryan for the great night. We didn’t buy shots for any bands this night, but I think we owe shots […]

We were able to attend the Open House hosted by the AKIN Collective. It’s a pretty great artistic space, also shared by Audio Blood. There was BBQ, beer, a solo performance by Jason Couse of The Darcys, and acoustic performances by Sandman Viper Command and Make Your Exit. While we were there, Rachel took a […]

[Note: We had some technical difficulties and, as a result, we had to take this photo after they took their shot. Two of the boys so kindly offered to fake it, but clearly not everyone got the memo… so I’m just going to be honest about the whole situation.] Date of show: September 11, 2010 […]

Date of show: September 11, 2010 The Most Serene Republic is a Milton/Toronto-based 6 member-deep kaleidoscope pop band comprised of Adrian Jewett (vocals, trombone), Ryan Lenssen (keys, trumpet, vocals), Sean Woolven (guitar, vocals), Nick Greaves (guitar), Simon Lukasewich (bass, violin), Adam Balsam (drums). On top of these 6 members, they also brought out a couple […]

Date of show: September 10, 2010 Shot of choice: Jack Daniels Lovely Killbots play dance rock that sounds much bigger than their two-person band, made up of Lauralee Sheehan (keys) and Ryan Beattie (drums). They closed out the night to a still-crowded Sneaky Dee’s. There was a good-sized crowd up front and dancing away. Lauralee […]

Date of show: September 9, 2010 Shot of choice: Crown Royal I wish I could come up with a description of Foxes in Fiction that would do Warren Hildebrand justice. He plays guitar in addition to a fairly elaborate set up, including tape recording. His breed of experimental music comes with pop sensibilities that create […]

Date of show: September 4, 2010 Shot of choice: whiskey (they’re not picky and will take whatever is cheapest, but Jack Daniels is really their preference) Ordinarily I would be a little concerned about the turnout at a show on the Saturday of a long weekend, but when it’s also the birthday party of the […]
