MUSIC | Twin Shadow
Rolling Stone's 'Band of The Week' for October 7th 2010 was Twin Shadow, aka George Lewis Jr, who rolls into the big smoke tonight for an appearance at The 'Shoe. Twin Shadow's debut album "Forget," produced by Chris Taylor from Grizzly Bear, dropped at the end of last year, and has been received very favourably by those who dig this Brooklyn-based artist's synthy 80's-influenced pop sensibilities.

MUSIC | PWYC Weds w/ Poor Young Things, Mushy Callahan, Alexander Nicol
Rancho is the place to be tonight if you're looking to check out what is consistently a strong showcase of local and 'breaking' indie rock bands. Tonight's lineup includes Alexander Nicol, who is so fresh that Dan (the guy who put this lineup together), hasn't even heard him yet, but word of mouth is strong regarding this act. Also on the bill are Mushy Callahan, who roll out rock with a mellower, country-tinged vibe, and the headliner is Poor Young Things, recently re-located from Thunder Bay, and ready to rock Hogtown ragged!
