By: Tom Beedham (@Tom_Beedham) – The last time Pixies graced a Toronto stage was in April 2011; the performance came under undeniably different circumstances. At the tail end of a globetrotting, two-year-long 20th anniversary tour for the band’s first international release, 1989’s Doolittle, fans piled into Massey Hall two nights in a row to celebrate … Continue reading
By: Patrick Topping (@ptopp_ing) – Last night in Toronto, TOY made their Canadian debut at the Horseshoe Tavern to an eagerly-anticipating crowd. Joining the UK-based motorik-euphoric band on the road were New York City’s pop-psychedelic Spires, and Toronto’s own shoegaze band Beliefs.

By: Shelby Monita (@shelbymonita) – On January 11th, a confusing and complicated selection of acts took over The Horseshoe Tavern to welcome Detroit R&B legend, Gino Washington.

The pair first went back-to-back at SXSW this year and the result was promising. They both have a refined ear for music and genuinely … Continue reading
By: Mehek Seyid (@whatthemehek) – Many concertgoers got to work their heavy holiday meals off and enjoy some great music at The Danforth Music Hall last night where Toronto-natives Death From Above 1979 closed 2013 with a one-off show in their hometown.

Entering the stage amidst a procession of women … Continue reading
By: Mehek Seyid (@whatthemehek) – Last night, Meek Mill rolled through Toronto to perform at the Kool Haus in support of his latest mixtape, Dreamchasers 3. Unfortunately, fans had to endure a near-two hour delay before the doors even opened, consequently resulting in an extremely late show. It really tested the patience of Meek Mill’s Canadian … Continue reading
By: Adam Harrison (@AdamRHarrison) – Pure Energy. That’s the best way to describe the alternative-surfer-punk-blues-indie-garage-rock band, Cage the Elephant. Last night the crowd at Sound Academy in Toronto experienced that energy as the Bowling Green, Kentucky four-piece stopped by as part of their Melophobia Tour in partnership with The Edge 102.1’s Jingle Bell concert series. Opening the evening were … Continue reading
