BANDS WANTED FOR A GREAT CAUSE!

Hello everyone,

I stumbled upon this post on Facebook today. As many of you know, an awful fire ripped through Queen St. earlier this week destroying numerous shops and houses. Someone is trying to organize a benefit show to raise money for the people who lost their houses and they're looking for people to help out.

Date: Monday, March 10, 2008 at 8:00pm
Location: reverb//holy joe's
Street: queen//bathurst

They posted these details:

corey and i are trying to put together a benefit for the people who lived in the apartments above the stores on queen that burned down.
so we need some participation from everyone, whether you have a band that wants to play, wares to sell (crafts etc), or just to come and donate some clothes, money, or whatever else you may have.

I really hope this comes together. TMS will definitely try to be there. If you're in a band and you want to help, please go to the facebook page and let them know. (let us know too!).

Flyers and Promotion!

ATTN: Everyone,

If you're trying to promote an upcoming show, email me the FLYER and I'll post it on this blog.

Just another way TMS is trying to help Toronto bands.

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,

- Sheena
