MUSIC | Warpaint at Wrongbar
L.A. psych rock band Warpaint are taking the stage tonight at Wrongbar supporting their amazing debut EP "Exquisite Corpse". The all girl, four piece mixes dreamy melodies with gorgeous vocals and hypnotic guitars which makes for an amazing live show, one of the stand outs of this years NXNE. The band is currently working on their debut full length, so you'll want to see them now so that you can tell your friends in six months that you saw Warpaint before they got huge. If you were excited to see Brooklyn's Beach Fossils open, sorry to be the bearer of bad news but they've been forced to cancel their Canadian dates due to losing their passports, but don't worry beat-makers Javelin are still on the bill!
Wrongbar, 1279 Queen St W, $12.50, 8pm

FILM | Cairo Time
I know it might not seem like it because it's not about hockey, pine trees or mounties, but Cairo Time won the Best Canadian Feature award at TIFF last year. That also probably means that you haven't seen/heard of it but it's playing tonight in Metro Square as part of a series of free summer movie nights. And while you're watching, you can enjoy special menus from participating restaurants in the entertainment district. Also if you notice the CN Tower displaying an out of the ordinary light show, it doesn't mean its' circuits are frying, it means the movie is starting so hurry up and get down there!
Metro Square, Free, 9pm
