With two aggressive vocalists, […]

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.

Saturday, March 23, 2013 Mac DeMarco – 3pm @ Sonic Boom Records Meeting up at Sonic Boom, we made it in time to check out much buzzed about Mac DeMarco. Mentioning that they had rolled out of bed just a half hour before their set, the band members were all either hung over or quite […]

Thursday, June 14, 2012 Nash – 7:00PM @ Mod Club (Maple Music Recordings) I started my Thursday early, heading to see Nash at the Mod Club, one of the sets I’d been looking forward to most this festival after catching them acoustic during CMW. Luckily, he and his band did not disappoint. Hard-hitting beats and […]

Friday, March 23, 2012 Cai.ro – 8:00PM @ Rancho Relaxo (Two Way Monologues & The Indie Machine) Starting their set with the lights dimmed low, first came the pounding of the drum, and clapping of this five-piece’s hands before the melody swelled with the addition of keys and violin.
