Toronto Music Scene is looking for someone to cover hip hop artists around Toronto. We have been receiving tons of interest from hip hop artists and bands and would love to diversify the music covered on the site.
If you are interested in being our hip hop correspondent please contact Sheena to get some more information. We are open to having more than one person cover these events.
On another note, the interview with Awake and Dreaming is now up so make sure you check it out!!

CMW GALORE!!!
Hello everyone!
CMW weekend is almost over, and TMS have been super busy running around the city checking out sooo much music and drinking sooooo much alcohol (YAY for 3am last call!) haha.
We'll be putting a bunch of new articles and reviews up on the site over the next few days. We had a chance to talk to Lights and the Creepshow this weekend, so stayed tuned for those.
Highlights of our weekend included:
- Tokyo Sex Destruction @ the Silver Dollar
- Almost not getting into the Rivoli to see Lights (but thankfully we did!)
- Tequila with Tin Bangs (They're playing tonight at Rancho Relaxo if you're not too hungover)
- Frankie Whyte and the Dead Idols ... fucking amazing!!!!
- Trying to sneak members of A.P.E and Birthday Massacre into Alpha Galetes
- Hanging out at Shanghai Cowgirl with Jimmy when it failed haha
- Hailing cabs in the middle of Queen St.
- Accidentally kicking someone who turned out to be Colin from Said the Whale after we sadly missed their set
- White Cowbell Oklahoma and their burlesque dancer...amazing!
- Seeing Darrin Pfeiffer at the Horseshoe (we didn't talk to him though)
- Finally meeting the legendary contributor Jason Daniel Baker (who apparently thought Sheena wasn't real!)
I'm sure the list goes on....feel free to comment with your crazy stories!
Also the interview with Latefallen from last week will be up tomorrow at the latest. Those guys also played this weekend, but we didn't get to check them out.
Don't forget tomorrow is the Queen benefit show at the Reverb/Holy Joes. We hope to see you there!
Tuesday is also awesome: TMS faves VESTA VARRO will be playing a show with Awake and Dreaming (who we will be talking to) as well as Low Level Flight and Auto Pilot. Tuesdays are free so come show your love and say hi!
That's it for now. Thanks again to everyone for all of your awesome support.

RIP Jeff Healey
Toronto blues singer Jeff Healey died last night in hospital at the age of 41 after a lifelong battle with cancer that had left him blind.
Thestar.ca is reporting Jeff Healey's Roadhouse was closed and chained shut today, though TMS is not sure if that is typical for the venue during the day.
Healey was nominated for numerous Juno and Grammy awards and received various other awards throughout his career in the Jeff Healey Band.
TMS would like to extend sympathies towards Jeff Healey's family. We hope Jeff Healey's Roadhouse will keep his memory alive.

UPDATES!!!
ARTICLES
Last weekend Toronto Music Scene sat down with Tin Bangs. That article will be up early this week - we apologize for the delay! As will articles about Latefallen and A.P.E (both wicked shows, by the way!).
CONTRIBUTORS
Thank you to everyone who has shown interest in writing for TMS. We will be meeting to establish writer's guidelines early this week, which we will then pass along to those of you who have expressed interest. Sorry if I have not gotten back to you yet, I will be contacting each of you this week.
CMW
So many shows, so little time! We're still trying to figure out precisely where we'll be during CMW, but we hope all of you get to catch some great shows! For us it looks like we will be at the Rivolo on Friday, the Horseshoe on Saturday and at various venues on Thursday. We'll be bringing you reviews and interviews with both Toronto bands and bands who are heading to Toronto. I'll update a list of people we'll be talking to once we get everything confirmed!
That's about it for now. Hope everyone had a good weekend and we'll see you this week!
Cheers,
