Friday night at Lee’s Palace, there was some outstanding musical talent on display. I was there for most of it. The show marked the public debut in Toronto of “My Favourite Filter”. I had seen “MFF” previously, at a small venue, and I am pleased to report that their performance translates well to a larger venue. Expect big things from them, my friends.
After five days of independent music and film showcases, along with three days of industry seminars, Indie Week wrapped last night. The event just keeps getting better every year. The bands and fans have a wonderful time, careening from venue to venue, sampling new and new to them music, while rubbing shoulders with like-minded people eager to see and be seen.
I know it’s been more than a week since it ended, but I’ve still got North by North East on the brain. Maybe it’s because I still can’t fall asleep before the crack of dawn (which is murder on my dayjob functionality). Maybe it’s because I can’t shake my hangover shakes. Maybe it’s because I still don’t have my full voice back – but you should hear my Demi Moore impression, it’s killer! Actually, you will be able to hear it on the Bobcast very soon, but anyway. Whatever it is, I’m sad that NXNE is over and that I had to get back to reality. Reality SUCKS. So, permit me to reminisce just a little bit.
