MUSIC: The Friendly Fires—a U.K.-based punk-funk band—have arrived in Toronto fresh off their stint at Lollapalooza and are ready to rock Lee's Palace. Unfortunately, if you don't already have tickets, the show is sold out. But you're in luck! Brought to you by the punk-cool local jewellery designers at Speech, the band will be DJing at The Social once their 10 p.m. set at Lee's is finished, jumping on the decks and drinking to their own success. Promised fun includes two-dollar drinks (from 10–11:30 p.m.) and Speech jewellery give-aways. The Social (1100 Queen Street West), 10 p.m.–2 a.m., FREE.
