Sunday, March 24, 2013 Duck Duck Goose – 8pm @ Rancho Relaxo (Two Way Monologues & GreenShades) With minimal showcases and many people having already checked out in favour of sleep, we headed out to Rancho Relaxo for the last night of CMW. The first band up was Toronto’s Duck Duck Goose. While the psychedelic […]

Sunday, June 17, 2012 Octoberman – 4:15PM @ Trinity Bellwoods (Young Lions Music Club & Humble Empire) Knowing a trip to Bellwoods for The Great Heart Festival would be just the cure for my sleep-deprived body, I made it there in time to catch Toronto’s Octoberman. With a bit of a country-pop sound, the band […]

Luckily, he and his band did not disappoint. Hard-hitting beats and […]

Sunday, March 25, 2012 David Hustler & The Trustworthy I unintentionally missed The Ship, so I started off the last night of CMW with David Hustler, whose name really is “Hustler,” and his backing band The Trustworthy.

There is a depth and darkness […]
