JOHN BUTLER TRIO MELLOWS OUT AT SOUND ACADEMY
John Butler Trio (JBT) was at the Sound Academy Saturday night bringing his Australian singer-songwriter wares. Playing a lap guitar to start the show using a slide, the instrument sounded more like a sitar than any type of guitar. John Butler meets somewhere between Ben Harper and Xavier Rudd. I did see a didgeridoo on [...]
MY MORNING JACKET HEATS UP KOOL HAUS IN TORONTO
I’ve heard little of their music, and a whole lot about them. My Morning Jacket were in town at The Kool Haus on their Circuital tour. I was glad to take the opportunity to see what the Bonnaroo veterans have to offer. Getting started about 30min later than expected no one seemed to mind the [...]
THE BLACK KEYS – WORTH THE DRIVE TO LONDON
Yes, The Black Keys (Patrick Carney and Dan Auerbach) made a stop in London, ON at the John Labatt Centre on Tuesday. Yes I drove there from Toronto. Why? Because I thought seeing them in a smaller venue outside Toronto would be a great experience. Overall I was right. I went in having a little [...]
EDGEFEST 2011 W/ A PERFECT CIRCLE, RISE AGAINST, HOLLERADO & SO MUCH MORE!
Edgefest 2011 started pretty early last Saturday. The first band we saw took the Main Stage just after lunch, Dinosaur Bones, who have been playing quite extensively around Toronto this summer.

CANADA DAY IN TORONTO W/ BUCK 65, HEY ROSETTA!, BROKEN SOCIAL SCENE, WEEZER AND THE TRAGICALLY HIP
With a lineup like this Canada Day in Toronto was pretty much a guaranteed winner, the only variable being the weather. Well it was a beautiful day, with warm sun and just enough breeze to keep the humidity away. Gates opened at 2p.m. at Downsview Park in the north end of the city. Adjacent to [...]
NXNE 2011: PARTY ON A BOAT!
Day 4 at NXNE was a party…on a BOAT! M For Montreal and Brooklyn Vegan were having an afternoon sailing out of Toronto harbour for some industry schmoozing. The ‘Bruise Cruise‘ boat party was a nice relaxing way to take in the afternoon. Of course this wouldn’t be part of NXNE without bands. M for [...]
NXNE 2011: LAND OF TALK + STARS + ELEPHANT STONE + BRAIDS + RICH AUCOIN
The third installment of Live N’ Loud’s NXNE experience is again caulk full of goodness. The original plan was to start the night at one of my favorite venues, The Mod Club. However, an unforeseen Taste of little Italy festival quickly ceased that. So, as is expected at NXNE I adjusted for the change and [...]
TAKING A BREAK FROM NXNE; IT’S FOSTER THE PEOPLE AT THE MOD CLUB!
Taking a break from NXNE I went to The Mod Club Saturday to catch Foster The People. They were in town doing a show before they a appeared on the MMVA’s the next night. The sold out crowd was a mix of hardcore fans that knew every word for every song, and newbie’s who have [...]

RAY LAMONTAGNE GIVES US A NIGHT OF BEAUTIFUL MUSIC IN TORONTO
Ray LaMontagne. It’s a name I’ve heard around for a long time. Whether coming to town somewhere nearby, or on the bill of a festival here and there. I had heard a couple songs, mainly from his ’04 release “Trouble”. It’s never been a name I followed though. When I heard he was coming to [...]
