A build up of sorts starting with an amazing looping electro-pop act now living in Toronto originally from Ireland in Meet the Blue before going into some more rockin' stuff with Neon and the Meate Dreams and DUTCH and then ending with the heaviest set in the night in Hamilton's Vivid Eye. Expand for full info, set times etc:

Meet the Blue: http://meettheblue.bandcamp.com/ at 9:40:

Listening to Meet the Blue I found myself thinking of Nightbox without having any clue whatsoever that Meet the Blue was also from Ireland. Crazy coincidence. This will be a solo electro-pop set instead of the full band of bandcamp but make no mistake you are wanting to come out early for this one!

Neon and the Meate Dreams: https://www.facebook.com/neonnadthemeatedreams at 10:25:

A band named after a Captain Beefheart song? Interesting. They also can write one hell of an intriguing bio. Hopefully that's enough to hook you because there are no songs to hear as of yet. Bummer! But isn't that half the fun?

DUTCH: https://soundcloud.com/dutch-from-toronto at 11:10:

How did I not know about DUTCH yet? Maybe because they are kinda somewhat quitely working on their debut record? Either way I am happy I do now. Check out the soundcloud. This is a rad band making rad and unique indie rock sounds that are all sorts of fun to rock out to.

Vivid Eye: https://www.facebook.com/vivideyeband at 12:10:

Bringing it home are the hard to define Vivid Eye hellbent on making waves out of Hamilton Ontario. I just spent a bunch of time listening to their stuff to try and write this blurb and I still can't quite pinpoint how to describe their sound. Sometimes that is a good thing, this is one of those times.
