Downsview and Luke Sneyd

Hellooooooo everyone,

We just got back from checking out Downsview and Luke Sneyd at the Horseshoe and we had a blast!

Downsview was such a fun show! The entire band knows how to rock and make everyone laugh! The crowd was pretty small but LOYAL to the core, which automatically ups their cred in my opinion! The interview was super fun, but unfortunately due to group hugs caused us to miss a little bit of Luke's set. Luke too was awesome: great show, great guy, great interview, so stay tuned for that.

I highly recommend both of these bands, so be sure to check them out at their upcoming shows in March....we'll have more details on those gigs later.

Those articles plus a show review will be up in a couple days, so keep checking back.

I hope you all enjoyed your first family day of all time. Long weekends in February not as fun as long weekends in the summer.

Until next time,

Upcoming interviews and awesome shows

I hope everyone had an awesome V-day, we attended the Hunter Valentine show and caught up with Adrienne Lloyd afterwards to talk music, girls and V-day itself. It was a wicked show with a rockin' crowd, so look for that article up later this weekend!

On Monday we'll be hitting up the Horseshoe to check out Luke Sneyd and Downsview. Mondays are free at the HS, and thanks to Ontario's recently introduced Family Day, it will be a great way to top off the long weekend.

CMW: Are there any bands playing CMW you're dying for us to interview or review? Post a comment on this blog and let us know!

Have a rockin' weekend everyone!

Happy Valentine's Day from TMS

A big Happy Valentine's Day from all of us (all two of us) here at Toronto Music Scene!

If you don't already have plans tonight, why not stop by the Reverb where we'll be catching some Hunter Valentine . Apparently there is going to be a mad game of matchmaker so grab a friend and come on down!

If that's not your thing, there are a TON of wicked gigs tonight, including:

Automatic + 3Tards @ Jeff Healey's Roadhouse
Brtual Knights + Andrew W.K. @ the Sound Academy

AND

Open Hearts @ the El Mocambo

I just want to highlight this last event for a minute: It's a charity event put on by Amnesty International and will be featuring performances from Blurred Vision, Luke Sneyd, Chris Bottomley, Joel Lightman and the Moroccan Drum Ensemble, Hallelujah Drummers. Tickets for this event are %15 or $10 with a canned food donation.


Hope you get a chance to check out one of the awesome shows tonight. If you see us at the HV show be sure to say hi! Until next time,
