Well now, HPX is well and truly underway, and so it's time to dispense with the random question asking, and get on to the live music watching. Well, almost time, as we've got a few more of these posts to get you fully fired up. This one here is with the rather interesting fellow you see below, Toronto's Gravity Wave . Gravity Wave is mainly Mr. Ken Farrell, but he's been joined by a cast of contributors, including at one point members of the white-hot [...]

I'm going to see the Rural Alberta Advantage on Thursday at the Horseshoe---with more than 50 of my friends, apparently. This will be their CD release for Hometowns, an album they put out independently in early 2008, but have no re-released properly on Saddle Creek. Supporting acts that night are Hooded Fang and a newer band called The Wilderness of Manitoba, all from right here in Toronto. Promises to be a great night, and will likely be a sold out, so get your ticket soon! Advance tickets are on sale for $12 at Soundscapes, Rotate This, the Horseshoe front bar, [...]
There's been quite a bit of press for The Drake Hotel 's 5 year anniversary over the past few weeks; that is, the anniversary of its make-over and relaunch by entrepreneur Jeff Stober . In the past five years, the Drake has become many things to many people, and the various factions that have attempted to make the Drake their own have often bumped against each other. Members of the dance rock outfit OPOPO play the Drake Hotel Underground during the year end "What's [...]
What a weekend it was . 2 nights, 2 venues, 24 acts (including hosts Iron Cobra and The Flirts ), more than 8 hours of entertainment, minus two 20 minute intermissions, and a lot of very impressed audience members, many of whom left talking excitedly about acts they'd not known before these shows. Julie Tepperman played anxious bride Rachel in Convergence's Theatre's side-splitting excerpt from their play "Yichud/Seclusion", Friday night at Bread and Circus (this and all subsequent photos in this post are by Skye Regan). [...]
So, I haven't exactly been keeping a strict schedule of daily posts this past week. The truth is, I've still been "internet-ing" plenty - but mostly for other people; answering interview questions, sending on hi-res photos, etc., etc. Melissa D'Agostino and her character Lupe (who's on the bill for Saturday's Comedy Bar show) were interviewed in Torontoist this week. And it sure has paid off; Gracing the Stage (and this weekend's launch parties ) has been extensively profiled by Torontoist's theatre writer, [...]
It is with great pride and pleasure that I announce a weekend of top notch music, comedy, and theatre, to officially launch this website. Yes, we've been posting daily (or just about) since January 4th , but on February 20th and 21st, gracingthestage.ca will be announcing its presence in the real world in a BIG way, with two nights showcasing some of Toronto's best music, comedy, and theatre artists, at two of the newest and most exciting performance spaces in the city. Maylee Todd leads members of Toronto's indie rock community in a [...]
Marylou Flamingo. So, I wrote a fair bit about Soundscapes in-stores last week . Since that post, they've announced three new dates: Feb. 4th - Bruce Peninsula (@ 7pm - These guys are terrific ), Feb 10th - Hylozoists (@ 6pm - also a very highly rated band), and Feb 24th - Gentleman Reg (@ 6pm - [...]
I'd planned on writing about the Rainbow Market Square for today's post, but since there are two well reviewed films opening there as of this weekend (" The Wrestler " and " Slumdog Millionaire "), I'm going to wait to do that properly next week. Another thing I'm planning on doing? More posts, but shorties: the sort of posts that don't require a (more) break. I'll still be posting at least a couple of in-depth profile pieces every week, but they don't all have to be as comprehensive as, say, my write-ups of Wombat Wednesdays [...]
This is the first update available exclusively through the website; the Yahoo Groups site will continue to exist solely as an archive of the last 5 year's archives. After going through the update, please do poke around the site, and peruse some of the articles; many of them mention weekly recurring shows, and shows yet to appear on the Events Calendar (though that is my next website priority). (The full week in Toronto's performing arts events, after the jump!) IN THEATRE, The Next Stage [...]
Frankly, I find it shocking the website has been up for over a week, and this is my first music post. I'd planned to write posts about last weekend's Rock n' Roll Anniversary , Singing Lamb Launch , and Out of This Spark shows, but the update, and the new Event Calendar (move your mouse over it, why dontcha, and see what happens!) ate up all my waking time. So the next two days are going to be all about the music, starting with Wombat Wednesdays . (That's Basement [...]
myspace :: web site Every so often a CD ends up in my mailbox and I'm left wondering … "what the &%#$?" Who is this person and how did they get my address? Ninety-nine percent of the time, that leads to a CD less valuable than one of those old AOL discs they used to mail out to anyone with a mailbox, but in the case of Fort McMurray's Gravity Wave , the gift was a pleasant surprise. I'll be completely honest, this would have been a tough sell if I'd [...]
Gravity Wave (Toronto) For those who don't know, every few months the Steam Whistle Brewery hosts a concert series called Unsigned, where, you guessed it, bands who are not signed entertain the Pilsner happy beer crowds that gather. Although the location of the show (The Steam Whistle Brewery, right beside the CN Tower and SkyDome) is a bit out of my typical Annex walking show radius, I decided to make the hike downtown to check it out. A couple of things I learned about this Unsigned series: 1. It is only $5, [...]
