Queen Street's population disappeared on Saturday night and it wasn't until midnight that I realized everyone had gone to Wrongbar for Rynecologist's mix tape release party.

With amazing local Dj's Rynecologist, Meech and Nasty Nav, Wrongbar kept the west end up all night with uncontrollable dance evoking beats.

Slim Twig has been in the spotlight in the Toronto music scene for quite a while, long before Now Magazine crowned him the best pop/rock artist last year. I've never gotten the chance to see him live, so naturally I wanted to see what the big fuss was about. Last night, the Horseshoe granted me this desire as they held a CD release party for his latest album Contempt!

Sneaky Dee's stage was a wreck by the time their "Remember Toronto II: Bands Reunited" Wavelength edition ended. The event featured Grasshopper, The Electric Shoes, Kat Rocket and Tigerbomb.

I'm not going to lie and tell you that I've been a fan of these Indie bands since the 90s, because the truth is during that time I was way too into mainstream radio to even know about decent underground acts. So I attended Sneaky Dee's as a total newcomer to what seems to have been a show full of nostalgia.

Thursday night didn't promise a very busy night at Rancho Relaxo. I guess you can't really expect a packed event on a weeknight, but that wasn't the only thing causing an absence of a crowd at the venue.

When I heard that Rich Girl were on the bill, I assumed that it would be an electro-punk themed kind of event, but I was mistaken. It was a very random line up of bands; random genres brought together random audience members which made this a very awkward Two Way Monolgues (TWM) showcase for me.

Call them what you will; the Shouts, Shout Outs, or even SO4 (as my friend pointed out to me), you can always count on Edmonton's Shout Out Out Out Out to tear a stage up and start a mean dance party.

Their latest Toronto performance at Lee's Palace on April 25 was no exception. I left the venue drenched in water - and it wasn't from the rain...it was sweat. Grosss, I know.

I went to Sneaky Dee's last night, completely ignorant of what was being offered. I knew it was a Wavelength night but I had no idea who the bands were or what genre I'd be listening to. I didn't mind though, because these are some of my favourite situations; seeing a band live before hearing their recorded material. By the end of the showcase, I'd experienced a really interesting and unpredictable show...
