NXNE 2009

NXNE 2009 in Toronto is one of Canada’s biggest music festivals now in it’s 15th year.
Last year over 70,000 concert fans, bands and industry folks descended into Toronto live music venues to see some exception and not so exceptional talent.

This year NXNE 2009 is even bigger boasting 500 local, national and international artists and bands the chance to showcase for thousands of fans, agents, talent buyers, media, promoters, labels and management companies at a variety of essential Toronto venues.

I’ll get the final lineup for NXNE 2009 including bands, venues and Toronto concerts. If you want to contribute or if I miss anything let me know on this blog.

A Prelude to CMW

By tinap

So here I sit, contemplating what I may need to see this up coming Canadian Music Week. BTW – what’s with the name change? There are many bands that I want to see, but between my full time job and my part-time love life, I don’t know how my liver will ever survive.

The week starts off by moving a new boy into my space. I mean, I have been living here, on my own as a single female in Toronto and this, albeit very cute boy whom I have a ridiculous amount of little things in common with, moves in the week of CMW! Man, eh to put a damper on my week of debauchery – I will have someone to report to, no wait – this is my place and I pay the bills Dammit!!! LOL, I kid – he’s very sweet, but bad timing ;)

The menu this week is vast, I think I will start on Thursday night by catching Sloan at the Mod Club. An intimate venue and I haven’t seen this band since my college day when they did the campus tour in the fall. Love South Central Ontario – if you were a fan of anything deemed college radio – you could follow them around the province at a nominal charge, with student id.

I am also hoping to catch Gene Simmons speak at the Royal Note as the Week’ keynote. It’ll be interesting to see if he has anything to say outside of Gene Simmon’s Family Jewels, or will it be the same old episode rehashed with the odd partnership with Belinda Stronarch?

Friday night – Indie night at the Royal York followed by The Horse Shoe is a must on my hitlist. Saturday night – The Morning After Girls at the Tanzac…and from there, whatever the night will bring, will bring.

Check in with me at the end of the week to find out if I come out spleen in tack.
Have a great week!

20th Annual Cotton Gin Festival!

cotton is king. The historic 1914 Burton Farmers Gin* is nestled in the heart of Burton, Texas – located on the same site where it was built almost 100 years ago! Thousands of visitors tour the historic cotton gin annually and enjoy exhibits at the Burton Cotton Gin Museum. Burton, a small rural German community of 350 is conveniently located halfway between Houston and Austin on Hwy 290.

At the end of the day this is the Music festival for emerging music, Texas awsomness and family good entertainment.

Texas concerts are HUGE – this is the place to be.

Enjoy!

Michael Franti Metropolis Montreal

by Captain Morgan

Maybe it was the Obama effect or just the super chill vibe at The Metropolis but Michael Franti & Spearhead just killed it.

Why is Franti & Spearhead the best $26 I’ve spent on a ticket? These guys can play. Passionate, intense, super-talented and intelligent. A social message wrapped around dub infused soul with hard hitting dub rock. It was the slap and tickle of entertaining AND delivering a message that so many artists fail to deliver. I left the show feeling good about the world…and had a blast. Power to the peaceful!

Smitty thinks bass and drum is the cornerstone of life and the force behind the earth rotating on it’s axis. Carl Young (Bass) and Manas Itiene (drums) make it seem like Smitty knows what he’s talking about.
I shouldn’t be surprised. Smitty knows a good funk-soul storm trooper when he hears one and these guys kept it tight, loud and syncopated. Combined with Raleigh J Neil (keyboard) + Dave Shul + Franti (vocals/Guitar), Michal Franti & Spearhead in concert is musically divers driving heavy overdubs of dance hall to soulful acoustic numbers that made me want to hit the St Ignatius studio and lay a patch.

Big up to Franti and spearhead…and Obama (Spearhead fan)

Look forward to the next show at Nokia Times Square Theatre NYC.
