If you're a fan of the Perry Farrell–helmed Satellite Party or the luxuriously-named Mink, hurry hurry hurry down to Dundas Square right now. According to tipster Liisa Ladouceur, the bands are playing a free surprise show at 2:00 p.m. at Dundas Square, (kind of) taking a page from The White Stripes' book. UPDATE (4:00 p.m.): Uh...so, maybe not. Apparently, Mr. Farrell changed his mind. According to Ladouceur, "might do cfny at 6pm. might dj......

According to an anonymous reader, the White Stripes are playing a free surprise show, right now (3:30 p.m.) at Yonge & Grosvenor. No need to get out yer wallets for tonight's show at the Amphitheatre after all... UPDATE (4:50 p.m.): Okay, apparently show's done (we think? can anyone confirm? Yep, all done.) If you've got photos, we wanna see them! Upload them to our Flickr pool, or e-mail them to tips@torontoist.com! UPDATE (July 6,......

Photo by Carrie Musgrave. We could begin this week by rambling on about how we're into the second half of the year already (really?!) or tell you all about our Canada Day weekend, but let's just get straight to it this week. Go see The White Stripes on Thursday. If there's one show you go to this entire summer, this is the one. Really. We recently saw the Stripes at Bonnaroo and they were......

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......

Each of these exclamations could be questions due to their outright absurdity, don't you think? - The brand new Villiage People line-up! - The brand new Sandy Cohen album! He was on Canada AM this morning...Question mark. - Korean-town karaoke vs. Dictionary-Karaoke! - David Lynch, the weatherman! - The interview! - Late Night with the White Stripes, tonight's guest - Conan O'Brien!

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.......

Frank Yang. Is there anything you can say about the guy that hasn't already been said? Well, how about this: He does a damn fine weekly gig guide. Let's see if we can pick up where he usually picks up... Thursday September 15: At Lee's 13 & God might turn into a more Notwist crowd, though Themselves have proven themselves to be quite entertaining by themselves. Should be good for the $15 cover. Meanwhile Les......

Please excuse the shorter mixtape this week - a certain university is trying to ruin my life (rhymes with Dyerson). 1.
