CLUBS | THE GROOVE STEW @ the DRAKE UNDERGROUND
The Groove Stew comes to life at The Drake tonight. TO's newest dance party launches, with its very respectable musical mission: to provide you with that special blend, that delicate musical balance they call "FUTURETROhipINDIEgrooveHOP"!
The Drake Hotel (1150 Queen Street West) 10PM

MUSIC | Eastern-Euro "Full Moon Party" @ Bread & Circus
Eastern European musical mayhem and madness are going down tonight at Bread and Circus! This "Full Moon Party" promises to be an experience. The father of "Neoism", Istvan Kantor, will perform this evening, with his group, Red Armband, joined on the bill by Gypsy-punk provocateurs Worldly Savages. DJ Gypsy Viking will provide support with lots of Eastern low end, and Balkan/Gypsy/Euro vibes.
Bread and Circus (299 Augusta Avenue) 10PM $10

MUSIC | White Cowbell Oklahoma @ Lee's Palace
While White Cowbell Oklahoma might not be known for championing Feminism or 'Political Correctness', they are known for a kick-ass stage show (which incorporates scantily-clad females), and for knowing how to Rock - old school style. If you've been thinking you could use "more Cowbell", why not join them tonight? You'll also catch Spitfist and Dead Queen Bitch as openers.
Lee's Palace (529 Bloor Street West) 9PM $15

MUSIC | A Day To Remember/Bring Me The Horizon/We Came As Romans/Pierce The Veil
Should be a full house at this heavy all-ages gig tonight! Florida's own, A Day To Remember, will be headlining this barn-burner.

Continuum Music brings the dynamic of dance into their program for this evening's concert. Four Canadian composers, Cassandra Miller, Linda C.
