I am reposting this artice which was made on October 9, 2010 . With a fall tour which is happening at the moment. This year the album And Now We Sing has been re-released on Sonic Unyon . Don't forget the band will be playing Ottawa on October 13th at the Mercury Lounge. [ Facebook event ] I've been meaning to write something on this band for quite some time. Its autumn right now and you should try and check out the London, Ontario band Olenka [...]
Tweet Hey gang! It's a first here at TBWTTIHS! This blog post from here on in will be one that for the first time will be written by a guest blogger! This one is from my dear friend from Dallas, Miss Krystal Garcia aka La Mexicangla Almighty.

Young Rival are just on the edge of releasing their first full-length album with Sonic Unyon , and to get reactions on their new material, the band took to Chatroulette to debut their standout 'Authentic' (You can head to their homepage to grab the track). Great idea. Reminds of when Cake went around asking people about 'Short Skirt, Long Jacket' . Tour dates: 4/16 Sudbury, ON - The Townehouse 4/22 London, ON - Call The Office 4/24 Windsor, ON - Phog Lounge 4/ 29 Guelph, [...]

Laura Barrett, sensibly dressed for the commute to tonight's Horseshoe gig (though the lady does need some mittens) Old Man Winter is dumping on Toronto at the moment. For some people, the weather will guarantee they're staying in and watching American Idol's karaoke warblers. If you've access to the TTC, though, or live in the downtown core, and actually care to see some true musical talent, there's a triple bill of great Toronto musical artists at the Legendary Horseshoe Tavern this evening. First on the bill, and starting at 9pm, is [...]
