About a month ago, we went to see Blitzen Trapper. They were fantastic, and super high energy. The venue was a sold out Horseshoe Tavern, and we managed to round up a last minute squadron consisting of myself and Kate, Litzen and Griff. Awesome team, good times had by all. Well worth the should've been four hour round trip that turned out at least double.
A week or so later, Sebastien Grainger and the Mountains played a mean jam at Call the Office. Another fantastic team of concert goers, which as I always say makes a huge impact on the quality of the evening. Again, good times for everyone involved, including Sebastien Grainger laughing his ass off when I told him he made the best album of 2008.
In other news, here is a photo of an awesome new dog named Shiloh. We should all aspire to be a fraction as awesome.
Rothbury Festival in Michigan has announced it's initial lineup, and it seems to have a bit of a hippy jam band fest (which I am in no way dissing). But sprinkled in there are so amazing acts like Damian Marley and Nas, Broken Social Scene, The Hold Steady, Chromeo, Mstrkrft, Cold War Kids, Quannum All Stars, Ani Difranco, Girl Talk and many more. I will be there, so hopefully you will be too.
This Thursday, Mike Miller and Ryan Mahy will be diplaying art upstairs at the Barking Frog on Richmond Street. We should all be going to support these two very talented fellows.
And then we should be hitting up Call the Office, for Sole, with Thesis, Sneaks and Gripski, Bogus, and Hullewudd.
Friday will be Toronto's own Timbre Timbre with Rock Plaza Central. 6 dollars, not to be missed, unless of course you're going to see Matt & Kim and Cut Copy at Circa, in which case you have an excuse.
Next week is finally Big Daddy Kane, at Phoenix, if anyone wants to join, we still have free tix and space in the limo. Get at me!
Until next time, come see me on Mondays for cheap drinks and dope, interesting music. Stay beautiful.
