At S.C.E.N.E. Music Festival, I had the opportunity to sit down with 5/6 members of Lifestory:Monologue. The only missing member happened to be vocalist Richard Nuttall, perhaps saving his voice for their 2 sets (one acoustic, one amplified) later in the day. The band recently released The Thornberry EP to tide over fans until their […]

Hours away from their late night set but enjoying the Festival, I sat down with vocalist Mike Kaminski and drummer Peter Gosling from The Dirty Mags for a chat during S.C.E.N.E. Music Festival. The band is currently based out of Toronto and has only been around for about a year, but they’re already on indie […]

S.C.E.N.E. Music Festival takes over downtown St. Catharines for a day every June. On June 28th, we had the privilege of attending and enjoying all the amazing music. It’s quite a spectacle, with music lovers of all ages roaming the streets moving from venue to venue. While there seems to be a specific focus on […]

I had the pleasure of sitting down with Cults during NxNE. Cults had played a packed show at Lee’s Palace the previous night and were gearing up for another set at Yonge & Dundas Square. Looking forward to enjoying their time in the city a bit, Madeline Frollin says, “We just got in last night […]

I had the privilege of sitting down with Foster The People and three other music bloggers/writers on the Saturday of NxNE. While their show during the Festival was not officially part of NxNE, the guys were enjoying Toronto and the festival atmosphere. The band also stayed in the city to present an award at the […]

Sunday, June 19, 2011 We were so thrilled to co-present such a fantastic showcase with our pals Two Way Monologues. While this event was not NXNE official, we wanted to end the festival with a bang! We are so thankful everyone who showed up, especially considering many people took off this last night of NXNE […]

Saturday, June 18, 2011 I spent my afternoon over at Yonge-Dundas Square for a crazy awesome lineup. DD/MM/YYYY took the stage at 4pm and the crowd was scarce. But despite the small crowd, the band released a couple large foil balloons that the crowd got a kick out of. Those we weren’t familiar with the […]

Friday, June 17, 2011 I started off my day at the Global Backpackers Village hostel for a BBQ hosted by Kelp Records and TLOBF/Oh! Canada. Bonus to the great music: free hot dogs and hamburgers! When I arrived, The Elwins were just taking the stage. I was happy to catch them play in the daytime, […]
