Watch this: Brian Borcherdt (live), Hooded Fang (live), The Magic (live), Still Life Still (live).

Here are some videos of live performances during last week's Canadian Music Fest (and related afterparties):

One of the shows I'm sad to have missed was Friday night's Music Gallery show featuring Brian Borcherdt, Julie Fader, and Postdata. Here's some of Brian's set. blogTO's Matthew McAndrew has more videos of the night on his vimeo page.



Hooded Fang performed on Thursday night at the Drake Hotel with some great bands. Justin Beach was there. The band sounds amazing! A full-length should be out later this year. Excited! Hooded Fang's songs have a tendency to get stuck in my head for hours. And that's a good thing. NxEW.ca's YouTube page has more videos from CMF.



Colin Medley captured this footage of the Magic performing at a Friday night afterparty last week in some "weird tomb" on Ossington. Great tune! Sorry I missed the party. (Woodhands ended at about 3am, and then I went for breakfast.)



Still Life Still performed at another afterparty on Saturday night. I also opted out of this time. In fact, I didn't make it to any afterparties this year. Oh well.
