CNE 2015 | Autumn Hill and Rick Springfield
Autumn Hill It may seem like an unlikely pairing, Autumn Hill with Rick Springfield but it worked.

Who are Elizabeth and the Catapult and What Are They Doing in Toronto?
Elizabeth and the Catapult, think about it, for just a second. What a great band name, seriously. They were in Toronto this week to open two shows for The Franklin Electric at The Drake Underground.

The Stellas, The Lovelocks and Hugh’s Room: The Perfect Combination
Last night in Toronto The Lovelocks made their Hugh’s Room debut and it was magical. As a supporter of local talent they’ve been on our radar for a while. This was my first time seeing them live but we’ve covered them before, and we’ll be covering them again. Now when I say local, you can’t get […]
