Filed under: News , Exclusive , Pop Culture , Twisted Tales , Holy Hell Andrew H. Walker, Getty For many people, All Hallow's Eve is a time to embrace their darkest impulses, to dress as slutty nurses, slutty priests or slutty air conditioning units and conduct themselves with hedonistic abandon. In their own way, these people use October 31 to act like monsters. There is, however, another group of [...]

Photo by Olivia Malone Last time we heard from Richie Follin's Guards was back toward the turn of the year with the track "Do It Agin". Now, it seems the band haven gotten around to crafting their debut LP (out next year), with new track "Silver Lining" being the first single. continue reading >>

Frank Yang With most club-level festivals, some intense venue-hopping is par for the course and in a city with a downtown as spread out as Toronto, the logistics of getting from point A to point B in the allotted time can be an art form all its own. Unless you do things as I did on the Thursday night of NXNE and basically plant yourself at one intersection and let the bands come to you. This wasn't an arbitrary decision, mind. Dundas-Ossington has gone from borderland outpost to hot spot in the past [...]
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , Exclusive , Music Appreciation Lonny Knapp for AOL We're deep into NXNE 2012 now. The marquee event, of course, remains Spinner's own free super-show at Yonge-Dundas Square featuring mega-weirdoes Flaming Lips , Of Montreal , Hollerado and a pile of others. That's not all that's [...]
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , Exclusive Joshua Black Wilkins Between the witchy black outfits, the ominous stone-faced stage presence and lyrics about murder and revenge, the Black Belles come off as just a tad intimidating. Talking to the Nashville garage-rock quartet's frontwoman Olivia Jean, however, takes away a bit of the mystique (sorry to burst anyone's bubble). Chatty, friendly and a bit jittery from ingesting a few cups of [...]

Other confirmed performers include Bon Iver, Black Keys, Andrew Bird and Delta Spirit . When [...]

Tengo una debilidad por los grupos de chicas, lo reconozco abiertamente, desde los grupos de Riot Grrrls a los recientemente descubiertos Dead Sara o Screaming Females . Hoy vamos a intentar darle un repaso al estado de las "girl bands" actuales poniendo cinco ejemplos de bandas prometedoras a las que recomendamos seguir de cerca antes de que nos pongan una orden de alejamiento. Son las herederas de The Runaways , las Joan Jett , Cherie Currie y Lita Ford [...]

C'est un appétissant plateau que vous a concocté le Point Éphémère pour la soirée du 15 mai. Voyez plutôt : en entrée, le girls band fomenté par Jack White ouvrira vos papilles avec son garage doux-amer ; en dessert, les très glam Hunx et ses Punx sauront sans doute vous faire danser au son des récits de leurs amours sucrées ; en plat de résistance, ce n'est rien moins que l'immense James Chance qui viendra vous servir sa toute nouvelle galette. Et pour que votre portefeuille ne risque pas l'indigestion, Hartzine et le Point [...]

J. Michelle Martin-Coyne So what are you doing June 16? Are you one of those so conditioned by years of Toronto Radiohead shows selling out in a heartbeat that you tripped over yourself getting tickets for their Downsview gig as soon as they went on sale, even though the new venue was over twice the size of the Amphitheatre and general admission? Or are you one of those conscious of the fact that this is a King Of Limbs tour and realistically speaking, they probably won't be playing the stuff [...]
