Graffiti, electronica(rt), haircuts, DJs, vogueing ninjas... ah, yet another weekend festival in Toronto. Club beats and street breaks intersect at Queens Quay West this weekend as part of the Harbourfront's World Routes weekly summer festival series. There's a full event listing here, but we've picked and panned out a few points of interest for your pleasure at the pier. Ladytron, Woodhands, Thunderheist, Crystal Castles―it's all here. Normally this kind of thing would set you......

It’s pretty much accepted fact that garage sales are in the top ten of all things awesome. And any time a business does one, like the TRANZAC is this Saturday, it only adds to that awesomeness. The sale will feature a few items from the Toronto club’s vault, including old sound equipment, musical instruments, vintage beer memorabilia, and a myriad of found items from their lost and found. There have also been hints of......

William Morassutti and the TORO girls at his Brant House (yes, Brant House) launch party. A picture is worth 1000 words, or roughly twice as long as the average article in the new TORO "Magazine." It took us two mornings to recover from the oceans of alcohol imbibed at the TORO online launch party on Wednesday, peel our champagne goggles from our mascara-encrusted eyes, and take a deep breath and a second look at......

Woodhands has already put on their party hats, and they've got reasons a-plenty to celebrate—today's CD release, a recent Eye Weekly cover, being named one of five top acts to watch in 2008 by Exclaim!, and all this success without suffering a single splinter.

This Thursday, the Toronto-based, two-headed dance machine releases......

Apparently they’ll make you nachos. Where were we? Right. There......

Calling all local dance floor heroes and heroines! Hearts are ga-gunking to the clocks, which countdown to a night of pure electro-bliss. This Saturday night, Kensington Market’s Teranga (159 Augusta Avenue) will play host to Woodhands, Bocce, Opopo, and Green Go for what will undoubtedly be the sweatiest night of your lives. Too generous? No! With a lineup like Saturday’s, you'll definitely need to bring a second set of clothes. Woodhands is fronted by keytar......

This Friday's Steam Whistle Unsigned is already the fourth in a series of independent music showcases at the Roundhouse, but it's the first we're really excited about. Really excited. Check out this lineup: The Carps are the best thing to come out of Scarborough since... er... hmm. Right. Anyway, the punk-soul duo recently opened for MIA at the Kool Haus, and if they're good enough for Maya, they're good enough for you. Opopo sound like......
