Like all other experiences I’ve had attending the Suoni Per Il Popolo festival, there is a certain David Lynch-esque feeling that washes over me during a performance and the spirit of free music becomes tangible and omniscient. This evening’s performance did not fall short of capturing (and releasing) that same feeling.

I was glad to see Scout Niblett at Sala Rossa on Thursday in a more intimate setting then previous times I’ve seen her. I got to sit right up close where I was near enough to get scoutniblett-sweated upon. She sings through clenched teeth which I find really entertaining. She’s, like, the only performer I’ve [...]

The Pink Noise from Toronto began their set with synth keys and drum machine beats pulsating alongside bassist K. Hainey’s tidy bass lines. M. [...]

Sister Suvi are a local band [...]

Well, some serious ‘grats are in order for Reel Dames 2008 organizers Aimée van Drimmelen and Hosay Breau; this year featured an array of accesible, oft enchanting, oft wunder-ful films from a plethora of walks and visions. And an additional ‘grats to Hosay who missed the evening due to the arrival [...]
There’s a buzz goin’ on about the Reel Dames Film Festival. A plethora of my friends have found ourselves pleasantly confounded by how we all independently decided this was what we were doing Wednesday night without consulting each other. TG great minds think alike. Yeehaw, as they say.
Our own Martin Reisch, aka *safe solvent, will [...]

David Macleod warmed up the foliage-strewn stage, with fellow Timber-member, Katie Moore sharing vocals and a guest appearance by Emma Baxter of Orillia Opry. By the time Plants and Animals got up, giggling [...]
