Hey kids. Thursday!!!! Click the LINKS!!! Make the COMMENTS!!

THURS SEPT 24

A Horse And His Boy playing at Sneaky Dee's
Straight from London On, directly into your hearts (and dancing feet). This is their Toronto debut, to make up for the show they missed a couple weeks back when their gear got stolen. Seriously, they are one of the best acts coming out of London today, and you'd be foolish to miss this show!



FRI SEPT 25

The Rocky Horror Picture Show at Bloor Cinema 11:30am
With a live cast no-less.


Book of Gnomes at Press Club
Word on the streets says that the Gnomes are prepping an album. That's good news. Come see why before the Rocky Horror Picture Show... actually skip it all together, it plays at the Bloor all the time, see the gnomes! I'll be there!


SAT SEPT 26

Abbey Road Tribute at Enwave Theatre
This is kinda cool, a tribute to one of the greatest albums of all time performed by The Art of Time Ensemble, Martin Tielli, Kevin Hearn, Sarah Slean and.... Raine Maida... hopefully he's just there for eye candy... But Martin Tielli! Nice.


SUN SEPT 27

Word on the Street Music Stage at Queen's Park
Wow, if you're in the Queen's Park area at any point on Sunday, you need to stop by. You may see a performance by Sandro Perri, The Bruce Peninsula or Ghost Bees. Plus a few other names I'm unfamiliar with (but they're in good company). Annnnnd it's free. Amazing. Click on the link for times.


MON SEPT 28

Rah Rah at El Mocambo
I caught this great band from Saskatchewan during NXNE, and I sort of fell in love. There is so much to like about Rah Rah... there Arcade Fire-esque music is exciting and sincere. Just see them, please.


TUES SEPT 29

Bela Fleck, Zakir Hussain and Edgar Meyer at Keorner Hall
I have no idea where Keorner Hall is. But this is a good reason to visit. Three Virtuoso's (on banjo, tabla and bass, respectively) together for one night in Toronto. I'm really curious as to what this music is going to sound like... Indian bluegrass?


WED SEPT 30

Porcupine Tree at Queen Elizabeth Theatre
Prog rock definitely isn't dead. It's still alive and well in the music of Porcupine Tree.


So long folks, enjoy the great shows this week, and I'll see you tonight at Sneaky Dee's!
