Sorry Spice Girls: R.E.M. just one-upped you in the "most exciting concert of 2008" department. The band, which famously played a free concert for 20,000 fans here in May 2001, announced Monday afternoon that their new tour (in support of their new album Accelerate) will feature both The National and Modest Mouse. All three bands are indisputable headliners, and it's a fantastic combination: R.E.M. are old and established, with something to prove after 2004's pretty-good-but-not-great......

Photo of My Chemical Romance in California by cantsaynotohope. Immediately upon entering the grounds of the Molson Amphitheatre Tuesday night, we realized that Projekt Revolution was not aimed at us, as we are no longer an awkward, alienated 14-year-old with oddly coloured hair (though we did see one lady who looked to be at least 55 wearing a Linkin Park shirt). We decided we would try to have a good time nonetheless. For the......

What are you doing tomorrow? Have the day off and up for hitting a show? Projekt Revolution, an annual tour organized by Linkin Park featuring "revolutionary, cutting-edge talent," will be hitting the Molson Amphitheatre on Tuesday, and we have a pair of tickets to give away! The show starts just after noon and includes artists such as Linkin Park, My Chemical Romance, Taking Back Sunday, HIM, Placebo, Saosin and more. Tickets would normally range from......

Aaaand, we're back! Live Baby Live had a false start a few weeks ago, but we're officially back in action now and have changed things up a bit. The listings will now appear on the site mid-week and run from Thursday to Wednesday. We're starting to sound like a broken record, but once again, there is definitely no shortage of recently announced shows this week. Good to see Brit 'it girls' The Pipettes returning......

Musicians must really love our city; so many of them have made multiple trips to Toronto this year that there could be no other explanation. Or maybe they just like our money. Either way, Panic! At The Disco (P!ATD) brought their elaborate set and crew to the Ricoh Coliseum last night for the second time this year, not even six months after their first visit at the Molson Amphitheatre. As a person out of......

It's a busy music week, this one. There's everything from samba to classical music, so all of you anti-hipsters should be pleased. Most importantly, Torontoist's 'Back to School' Party is this Thursday, and we better see y'all there -- especially you anonymous commenters. You know who you are. As always, if there's a show happening that we haven't listed, let us know in the comments. Recently Announced Oct. 4 - The Long Winters @......

Due to non-existent internet access over the past few days (thanks, Bell!), there is an abridged version of the music listings this week. However, a big week it is, with V-Fest coming to town. The Flaming Lips! The Raconteurs! Wolfmother afros! And keep your eyes on the sky...you never know, you might see Richard Branson descending to earth perched on a flock of birds or something. As always, if you know of a good......

It could be the abundance of shows announced over the past few weeks or possibly the kickoff of the fall concert season in September that's lending to the sparse choice of live music this week, because there are some slim pickins to be had. Unless you love the Marleys, in which case you hit the motherload! If anyone has word on some super secret underground shows happening between now and next Sunday, feel free......

At the White Stripes show on Friday night at the Molson Amphitheatre: Girl in the washroom: "I can't get this toilet paper off my shoe!" Friends: (laughing) Girl in the washroom: "Can someone help me?" Friends: (still laughing) Girl in the washroom: "Guys?" Friends: (completely silent) Funny in a you-had-to-be-there sort of way. And the show was pretty good too.......

It must be tough having famous parents, especially if you choose to follow in their footsteps, professionally. Consider a case like Los Angeles' The Like, three girls in a rock band whose fathers include Attractions drummer Pete Thomas, highly-regarded producer Mitchell Froom and producer/exec Tony Berg. While inheriting ridiculously musical genes can only be considered a plus, you can bet that critics will be watching extra-carefully, ready to trot out the n-word (that's "nepotism", folks)......
