Attention, stalkers of local multihyphenate Tyler Clark Burke: either you'll have to figure out how to be in two places at once this weekend, or you'll be flipping a coin. Heads: from 7 p.m. to 10 p.m. Friday, TCB fetes her new exhibit, "A Murder of Vs," at Katherine Mulherin Contemporary Art Projects (also known as a "gallery," located at 1086 Queen Street West). The artist promises "paintings and sculpture and prisms" (oh my!)......

As everyone’s favourite girl-about-town Tyler Clark Burke says, “This is really complicated.” Here goes. That sensation we all know and love as Santa Cruz returns this weekend, with not one, but two (count ‘em two) days of fun and adventure. This Saturday at 10pm at the Gladstone Hotel, TCB will host Eagle Eyes: The Party. There will be DJs, games, and “music to make you dance your head off.” Here’s where things get interesting. Those......

Torontoist wants to help one of the artists at last weekend's Santa Cruz find their missing squirrel. The squirrel dressed as a cobbler went missing from an artist station at last Friday's absolutely insane party on Captain John's Seafood Restaurant. He can be seen on the left-hand side of this photo. We hope that Schultzy (which is what we're naming the squirrel) is safe and hasn't been destroyed or worse ended up in the lake.......

Move over Trevor Coleman your claim on the maritime themed music scene is being challenged by none other than Santa Cruz organizer/DJ/ Tyler Clark Burke. Sure, Coleman, our carrot-topped, bespectacled booker can lay claim to possibly the only bar in Toronto that has faux-portholes (if there are any others do let us know!). Sadly, the Boat remains very landlocked and also happens to be up a set of stairs, not a very nautical location if......

It’s great living in a city that attracts such a diverse cross-section of musical acts every weekend. From indie rock to loser rock, from hip hop to hop-scotch, from classical to jazz, you’re bound to find something. Tonight Old Soul are playing the Santa Cruz party at Lee’s Palace tonight, $8. See here. Zoilus’ site says that “live-video-feed make-out (and sometimes more) booth, Mars Volta apres-festivities” are part of the show. Eye’s got the story......

Tyler Clarke Burke, Toronto's much-loved art-music-fashion icon, has recruited local collective-ish The Old Soul for her monthly Santa Cruz party tonight tomorrow night at Lee's Palace. For $8, you're basically paying a dollar per band member. Listen to a song from the Old Soul's album here. Also on the TCB front, buy the new Oneida CD in Canada (through Three Gut) and you can check her cover art. And, while on the Three Gut tip,......

Forget what all those bleeding hearts tell you about the evils and soullessness of rampant capitalism. What capitalism really gives you is the freedom to choose. Take this weekend's music offerings. Tonight you can choose to see the Inbreds play a reunion show at Santa Cruz. You probably remember listening to them while you were smoking outside the school in grade 9. If reliving some of those high school memories might be too traumatic check......

We go to know Wolf Parade when half the band composed original music for Torontoist's sister's experimental theatre production. The music was splendidly good, and the paper maché, which they may have had a gooey hand in, wasn't half bad either. Now the band plays cuddly puppy to Isaac Brock's Golden Retriever of a label. People might say their work 'defies categorization,' which means critics can't pick two bands and cross-polinate them in an effort......
