Happy new year my lovely DBAWIS readers! I can hardly believe 2011 is over. It was a pretty busy year, I have to admit, but more importantly, it was the first full year in my very fledgling music journalist career. In that year, I’ve attended, reviewed, photographed and enjoyed TONS of live music shows, from the smallest bar venue to the biggest arenas not only here in Toronto, but in some other cities as well. So here, in no particular order, is my list of the shows that kicked my ass (in a good way) in the first half of 2011.
