Morning Noon Night

Toronto Thaw hap­pened this week­end. It’s a new 3-day fes­ti­val hap­pen­ing at the start of Spring put on by Teenanger and Tele­phone Explo­sion. If you didn’t see one of the awe­some posters around town then too bad because you missed out on a lot of fun. Granted, I was only able to go to the Fri­day show, but I passed by Wrong­bar on Thurs­day at around 1:30am and it was still bumpin’ and Metz were play­ing Sat­ur­day night and they rule, so I can only assume the entire week­end was an unequiv­o­cal suc­cess. I’m not afraid to make this sort of con­jec­ture, I just call it as I see it.

Fri­day night, how­ever, when I showed up at Duffy’s Tav­ern at around 11:30pm the place was full. All the kids seem to be into the noisy-garagey-punky stuff at the moment. I dig some of it too! I actu­ally should have tried to go to some of the other shows, espe­cially Sat­ur­day because I’ve heard good things about Rit­u­als. All I ended up see­ing was Ana­gram and Hun­dos. Don’t get me wrong, they were great, but grow­ing up in Oshawa, I saw Ana­gram play a lot. It’s good though, it’d been a while and they’ve got a new album and 7″ and Matt has a beard now and the crowd was really into it, so yeah, I’m glad I went. I climbed onto a chair to shoot some of the set, but it was so rammed in there and so steamy, made it pretty hard to get any­thing. What­ever, I feel like an ass­hole shoot­ing at con­certs any­way, peo­ple are there to have a good time and I just feel like I’m get­ting in the way. Next time you see me at a show you have per­mis­sion to punch me in the face.
