REVIEW: Girl Talk @ the Kool Haus, Toronto, 11/12/08

By Alejandro Alcoba • Nov 13th, 2008 • Category: Featured!, Hits & Misses, Live

What do you get when you mash together every song ever and then mash together 2500 people?
I’ve honestly never been to that big a dance party in my whole life. Even in places where dancing happens! I’ve been circling ideas around in my head since last night, trying to suss out the best way to [...]



JUICEBOXdotcom vs. A VELOCIRAPTOR

By Ashley Carter • Jul 2nd, 2008 • Category: Articles, Features

With all due credit to the world’s 10-year-olds, JUICEBOXdotcom never really grew out of its dinosaur obsession. So when we got the press release for something called WALKING WITH DINOSAURS at the Air Canada Centre, we lost our collective shit. How had we never heard of this until now? Apparently it’s a critically acclaimed $20 [...]

Most have already forgotten, but this past weekend saw the 14th annual NXNE music/film festival and conference shove into Toronto, bringing with it hordes of industry geeks, regular people, and oh yeah, bands.

REVIEW: Kanye West - Live in Toronto, May 21, 2008

By Nicole Villeneuve • May 23rd, 2008 • Category: Featured!, Hits & Misses, Live

Playing the part of space cowboy, Kanye West hauled his Glow In the Dark circus into the Molson Amphitheatre Wednesday night. And in true Kanye fashion, the futuristic theme of his set was hinged on him being needed to save the planet as, naturally, the best and brightest star in the galaxy. These are actual [...]



REVIEW: Foo Fighters / Against Me! / HiFi Handgrenades - Live in Toronto, March 22, 2008

By Sam Sutherland • Mar 30th, 2008 • Category: Featured!, Hits & Misses, Live

Despite having a perfect 1:1 ratio of good albums to totally shit albums, Foo Fighters are still one of the most entertaining bands in rock ‘n’ roll. I mean, they seriously haven’t put out a listenable record since 1999. So it’s beyond my realm of understanding how Dave Grohl and co. managed to play for [...]
