Matt and Kim @ The Reverb
Friday, October 2nd, 2009
When it comes to writing about shows like last night’s Matt and Kim concert at The Reverb, it’s hard to know where to start… but I guess I’ll just kick off at the beginning. From the moment the cute couple from Brooklyn hit the stage (to some heavy Brooklyn beats), you just knew it was going to be a fantastic amazingly fun show. And it was.
For those of you who haven’t heard of Matt and Kim, you might have heard their music without realizing. Their song “Good Ol’ Fashion Nightmare” is that super catchy one in those Community TV promos. They’re kinda like The White Stripes in that it’s just one girl who plays drums (named Kim), and one fellow who plays keyboard (named Matt). What makes them different is that they’re all about having a good time. In their music video for “Yea Yeah” they have food thrown at them. In “Daylight” they jam in those big giant garbage bins. In “Lessons Learned” they get naked in Time Square. So yeah, they like to have a good time.

NXNE Friday Night!
Saturday, June 20th, 2009
Matt & Kim rocking out
A Friday night spent NXNE-ing? That’s one great Friday.
My first stop of the night was Whippersnapper for Spiral Beach and Matt & Kim. Unfortunately the road was closed so I had to walk to the venue, and I only caught the last two minutes of Spiral Beach. From what I saw they put on quite the energetic show, and the crowd was eating it up. I was busy trying to work my way to the front and managed to get a few decent pictures. Spiral Beach have a tharsh kinda sound that I’m not really into but I get why people like it. They’re also from Toronto and I’m all for hometown support! Best of luck to em!

NXNE is coooming! Hide your babies!
Wednesday, June 10th, 2009
Let’s just say for a minute, perhaps crazily, perhaps even impossibly, that maaaybe you won’t be camping out on Queen Street next weekend, waiting impatiently for the MMVAs. Maybe you have loftier musical goals in mind. Maybe you’re gonna try and see all 500+ bands at the upcoming NXNE Festival, taking place in fair Torontonia from June 17th-21st. Well, then you are crazy. That’s frigging impossible!
Luckily for you, your new best friend Jessica has the whole situation under control. After having tirelessly combed through the ranks of show-offy musicians who’ll be in town next week, I’m pleased to bring you Part the First of my top musical picks for next week’s music fest, conveniently from the first half of the alphabet. (Part the Second will appear, as if by magic, next Wednesday).
For a good time, call on the following:
