In 2004, before the Danes inadvertently set the Muslim world on fire with their cartoons, Toronto had its own little Scandinavian invasion in the form of the Superdanish festival. For a couple of months all we could think about was how to get to Coppenhagen. Well it seems like those bookers at CMW share the same love for those delightful Danes, booking bands like Danish "Grammy" nominees Kira and the Kindred Spirits (pictured) and Figurines.......

Torontoist wants to make sure we don't forget to send e-cards and presents to the lovely folks at Wavelength. The weekly indie music showcase is turning six and doing its best to top last year's excellent birthday festivities. Concerts start tommorow night with an ear blistering lineup at the Speakeasy (120 Church St.) that includes Anagram and Republic of Safety. But before all that rockin' out you can pick the brains of indie scenesters/stalwarts like......

Torontoist enjoyed Stuart Berman's interview in this week's eye, pitting Max McCabe-Lokos (the Deadly Snakes) and Bry Webb (the Constantines).We're not taking sides in this little "tiff" but we'll gladly go and watch either band this weekend at the Horseshoe. But enough of the friendliness of Canada's indie scene, we think that underneath all this collegiality and 'pat-on-the back' we're all in this together joviality there's some real rage. 1) Sarah Slean vs. Sarah......

There's a difference between celebrity-gawking locally (seeing P Diddy buying some clothes at Roots in Yorkville), and local celebrity-gawking (catching Stuart Berman eating a burrito at Bar Burrito). At Torontoist, we'd take the local celebs locally any night of the week. And last Friday - the Tangiers' CD release party at Lee's Palace - happened to be such a night. We first saw Mr Kevin Drew, whom we will not call a Broken Social Scenester,......

Ever since the 1950’s, rock’n’roll and meat have become one in the same. They ceased to be distinct entities with the advent of Americana diners and the popularity of rotund musicians like Fats Domino and later Elvis, and haven't separated themselves since. By the 1970’s, rock’n’roll actually became a meal. "What do you want for dinner tonight, sugar-face?" "Let’s have ourselves a little rock’n’roll, cowboy!" And there’s at least one 8-piece retro-psych ensemble band......

Last night the Drake was a veritable spectacle of boldfaced grandeur, trendy sneakers and perfectly worn in high-heeled leather boots. M.I.A. took to the stage, and a gaggle of journos, bloggers, and people with Dov Charney-esque facial hair shook their booties like TOist has rarely seen in this town. PopWherry, our occasional concert cohort, was tucked in the back, and Eye guy Stuart Berman was somewhere thereabouts too. Torontoist hero Mr. Zoilus told us that......
