It costs vendors well over $1000 to enter the show and customers $6-$12 to get in but word is it’s well worth it all around. Lots of our Indyish friends are heading down to Toronto to sit behind a table and talk with strangers from 9am to 9pm every day for 2 weeks about their [...]

This upcoming Saturday Nov 29, 2008 in Toronto there is a brand new indie press event called Meet the Press (which I discovered via Serif of Nottingham!) It seems a little odd to book this event on the same weekend as the biggest small press fest in Canada - Expozine goes down here in Montreal [...]

…the idea was to bring together twenty independent games in a setting that featured four arcade cabinet-inspired stations — a new selection of games were presented every hour. The event also featured talks by participants, as well as previews of titles still in the works.

A new found-footage video by the Sunparlour PLayers just popped up this week on their youtube, and it’s haunting lovely, and furious sad:

Of course, in my opinion, the Sun Parlour Players are grand wherever you put them, as evidenced by this gorgeous and totally shaky home video from a living room show:

Montreal’s My People Sleeping will join forces with The Sunparlour Players (Toronto, Outside Music) for an evening of beautiful indie-folk in the Phonopolis basement.

It’s going to be this Thursday, October 23rd, it’ll start at 6pm. Phonopolis is at 5403A ave. du Parc.

On Monday October 6th, at MainLine Theatre, something happened in Montreal for the first time: The Wrecking Ball!
Now, before I explain what The Wrecking Ball is, I should first mention that this is not the first Wrecking Ball in history. Nope. The Wrecking Ball has taken place annually in several major Canadian cities since 2004, [...]

What can I say about Toronto’s Forest City Lovers? Well, they took to the stage with ease Saturday evening at Le Cagibi, with pop melodies in their skirt pockets and a shaker in the closet. Sounds abstract, but in fact Kat Burns, guitarist and lead vocalist, did seem to be pulling out wonderful melodies from [...]

OK - I know that in the past (and maybe still, but I’ve stopped paying attention) a whole bunch has been made about this rivalry between Montreal and Toronto.  Lord knows, I was once a wearer of “Toronto Sucks” buttons.  As far as I’m concerned, they both have cool spots and not so cool spots [...]
