Tokyo Police Club and Friends Get Festive

December 13th, 2011

Toronto got a healthy dose of holiday cheer last week with three fun-filled, festive nights of indie-rock from a trio of Canada’s hottest young acts. On a Phoenix Theatre stage adorned by trees and gift-wrapped amps, Ontario’s Tokyo Police Club and Born Ruffians proved that it is possible to rock out in Christmas sweaters, if [...]

We Got THAT MUCH CLOSER To LIGHTS

November 28th, 2011

We’re still buzzing over LIGHTS’ sold-out show at the Sound Academy in Toronto this past Friday night. The hometown hero had 2,500+ (her biggest headlining show to-date) in the palm of her hand, giving her faithful army a breathtaking show they’ll likely not soon forget. Our cameras were rolling on every sweaty, exhilarating moment – [...]

Jay-Z and Kanye West reign over Canada on Watch The Throne tour

November 24th, 2011

If anyone can throw an arena-wide party and do it right, it’s Jay-Z and Kanye West. The highly anticipated Watch the Throne tour hit Toronto last night for the first of two shows, and to put it simply, IT WAS BONKERS. The 45-minute delay in performance was completely forgotten as soon as the show began. [...]

M83 bring their own brand of music to Toronto

November 21st, 2011

Friday night, Liz Trinnear and I had the luxury of seeing one of my all-time favorite musicians, M83, play at the legendary small, rundown, and ever so amazing Lee’s Palace in Toronto. This was actually my second time seeing them at this venue (my fifth time seeing them overall) and just their past gigs, Antony [...]

The Weeknd goes on the road with the XO World

October 5th, 2011

The mixtape has always been a cornerstone in hip hop music, often used to create buzz for an artist as well as provide emcees with the creative space and freedom for artistic expression. Its resurgence in recent years has been brought on by the success stories of artists like Drake and J.Cole, but it has [...]

Coldplay conquer MuchMusic

September 22nd, 2011

Coldplay’s Mylo Xyloto must translate into concert of the decade. The magic of the night’s evening was palpable as the Grammy winning band hit the stage literally moments after a day of non-stop rain did indeed stop. The air was warm, the energy was high, and the crowd was ready for the biggest band in the world. And boy, they were ready for us.

Much Staff Picks: My First Time (with Coldplay)

September 19th, 2011

I’ll never forget the first time I saw Coldplay. It was July 31, 2008. A week earlier, I packed up my life in Calgary and flew to Toronto for a job here at MuchMusic. Over the course of seven days, I’d said goodbye to my closest friends and family, moved to a new city, hunted [...]

Said The Whale Bring West Coast Charm To All of Canada

September 14th, 2011

After seeing Said the Whale perform in Vancouver, Halifax, Calgary and Toronto, I can confidently say they are one of Canada’s most beloved indie-rock acts – as if a Juno for New Group of the Year didn’t already prove that. But even upon first glance, it’s clear the group radiates West Coast charm. Keyboardist Jaycelyn [...]

Britney Spears no longer on top of her game for Femme Fatale

August 16th, 2011

Britney Spears brought the North American leg of her Femme Fatale tour to a close in Toronto this past weekend and not a minute too soon. The pop princess has fallen off her throne and doesn’t seem the least bit interested in getting back up. While Spear’s tour was high on outfit changes, elaborate sets [...]
