Two men who went on a Hollywood-worthy crime spree Saturday night and Sunday morning are being sought in a carjacking, shooting, three robberies, and a high-speed police chase. Descriptions of the suspects have now been released—if this is you, please turn yourself in. What do you give the province that has everything? That's what Alberta politicians will be asking themselves, with a provincial election expected to be called there this week. Likely winners are......

Photo of Tokyo Police Club by Conway L. It’s baaack! The two-day island explosion of rock ‘n’ roll that is the second annual Virgin Festival will be taking place this coming Saturday and Sunday at Toronto Island Park, bringing huge names and talented locals alike to Centre Island for a whole bucket-ton of music-making. "Great!", you say. "But I am sorrowed, for I know not who to watch at this great veritable cornucopia of......

On September 4, the The Misshapes released their style book, and the trio of trend-setting, New Wave rock-producing New Yorkers are hitting Toronto on Thursday, September 6 in celebration of its release. Who are The Misshapes? Known for their weekly Saturday night parties—the "best in hipster Manhattan" since February 2004—these musicians (and cutting-edge fashion influences) have established themselves as "an intersection of music, art, and fashion." The Misshapes are Greg Krelenstein, Leigh Lezark, and......

The confirmed headliners were announced today for Toronto's second Virgin Festival, happening September 9 and 10, on Olympic Island. The top spots this year go to the (sort of) newly reformed Smashing Pumpkins, who will headline the festival on Day 2, and Iceland's most eccentric citizen, Bjork, who will close Day 1. Other bands announced include The Killers, Interpol, Jamie T., Paolo Nutini, Amy Winehouse, and we're happy to say, Toronto's own Tokyo Police Club!......

This week, join us for a rogues' gallery of miscreants major, minor, and alleged. Gothamist gets us started with "Law & Order", muppet style. Oh, you know what isn't a crime? Taking pictures on the MTA. So, why are cops stopping photographers? In other Gotham crime, a......

Dear Editors, This letter concerns your August 2nd performance at the Opera House. Let me just start by congratulating you - you really pulled it off. I wasn't sure that you'd be able to. I mean, you made us wait through two opening bands (first one good, second one bad) and three hours before you finally came on, which meant that everyone was kinda pissed off by the time you started. Three hours is......

At the last Resfest, some "slamming" music video's by artists such as Dizzee, Interpol and RJD2 kept things appropriately "popping" at the Royal. This time around, the global digital film festival kicks out more of what you came for, with new GONDRY directed BECK VIDEOS, Can-favourites PIZZA SHOP, and shorts by JARED HESS of that much-loved NAPOLEAN DYNOMITE film. And after Res, watch the feature premier of Autodestruct: One Man's Obsession with William Shatner. Can......
