Welcome to my weekly roundup of inexpensive indie(ish) musical happenings in downtown Toronto. I try to list as many shows here as I know about, though with a preference for listing those happening at venues I especially like, or featuring performers I know something about. This list is thus not comprehensive. In addition, I rarely list shows that cost $10 or more, and never ones that require advance ticket purchases. If I'm missing something or you have any comments, please do let me know.
Here's my short list of events. I've been crazy busy in the last week. So, check venue listings on these sites: The Bovine, The Cameron House, El Mocambo, The Horseshoe Tavern, Mitzi's Sister, The Rivoli, The Smiling Buddha, Sneaky Dee's, Supermarket, and Tranzac. There's more over at Zoilus, Stillepost, and Musicologist. The Wavelength Festival runs this weekend---I will definitely check out some of it, and you should too. This week may also see me hit up The Boat, Rancho Relaxo, and The Horseshoe Tavern.
