NXNE: Pop Montreal Showcase & Paper Lions

June 18th, 2012 | by Cassie Doubleday

Friday night we hit up the Pop Montreal showcase at the Silver Dollar. The line-up included The Redmond Barry's, Goose Hut, Hooded Fang, Parlovr, Bleached, TOPS, UN and The Disraelis. Silver Dollar's is a pretty sweet venue in that you're not dying of sweat, you can jump out the back to the patio if you're ears need a break or hide in the back room and chill in a booth. Again, options are fantastic. Anyway, let's talk about some of the bands...Hooded Fang are a foursome from Toronto who play pop songs that swirl around memories of The Cure

Unless you want to do that? Jokes! So, our first night hitting the mean streets of Toronto for NXNE lead us


FTB is Kickin’ it in Toronto for NXNE

June 14th, 2012 | by Cassie Doubleday

Summer is always filled with dreams of finding new music or revisiting your favourites. It’s like musicians hide all winter, in their little or big spaces, working hard away at whipping up new music for the coming Spring and Summer seasons. And as Summer creeps towards us, so do all the music festivals that tag onto these hot, steamy months. NXNE may have started Monday, June 11, but most of the bands aren’t hitting the outskirts of Toronto until today
