i recognize one or two of these songs from Jeff Tweedy's solo show in Toronto a couple months back.
-
-
I find that a good bunch of support helps. It's best when there's a team of bands helping each other out to bring out a crowd.. but also from a DJ party stand point, fans like the music to be more continuous... at my shows we try to keep a flow of energy from the start to the end.
-
good show, i thought start was shakey, some great moments for sssssssure
-
very interesting sound... thanks for the link!
-
This crowd likes the parties to go until 4 am... so with a show starting at 10pm, you have 6 hours to fill.
You can't really call these events concerts, they are really special event parties put on by local promoters and since it's a big venue it always important to bring a big diverse group of people together... especially linking with Toronto support.
The line up is pretty impressive, UK Dub Pioneer, BC based Dub master, mixed with Toronto Reggae Crew House of David, and local reggae/dub authorities DJ Patrick Roots / DJ Chocolate plus bass addicted live PA act ZUM ONE.

After an acclaimed set opening for Ben Harper at the Sound Academy in July Grace Potter & The Nocturnals return to Toronto to play the Opera House September 29th!
Grace Potter and the Nocturnals are like a modern-day version of Tina Turner stroking the microphone in a spangled mini-dress while fronting the Rolling Stones circa Sticky Fingers. The proof is there for all to hear on the band’s third album for Hollywood Records which marks an artistic breakthrough for a vital young band caught in the act of fulfilling its immense promise. Little wonder that Grace and her cohorts chose to title it, directly and emphatically, Grace Potter and the Nocturnals.
“This record is the first time it’s really been us — the first time we’ve all found each other and ourselves,†says Potter with obvious excitement. “Everybody was totally comfortable, everything we had was sitting right in front of us, and it just poured out of us. The whole thing was fluid and effortless. In my mind, an album shouldn’t be self-titled unless it feels that way.â€
Though GPN initially made a name for themselves — and became a self-sufficient touring unit — on the jam-band circuit, the group’s sound was deeply rooted in the golden age of rock ’n’ roll; they cite Little Feat and J.J. Cale as huge influences early on. Burr and Potter formed the earliest version of the Nocturnals while both were students at St. Lawrence University after he introduced her to the myriad joys of The Last Waltz. So it was that the two soon-to-be bandmates and soulmates formed their bond while in the thrall of The Band, Neil Young, Joni Mitchell, Van Morrison and Bob Dylan. All in all, not a bad place to start. Because of their ready acceptance on the U.S. touring circuit, they were able to regularly play as many as 200 shows a year, shaping and sharpening their sound the old-fashioned way, on stages in front of demanding crowds. With the 2009 arrivals of Popper and Yurco the Nocturnals are entering the next phase of their evolution.
“We were a homegrown Vermont band for five years,†says Grace with a wicked smile. “Now we’re a national act that does not want to be fucked with.†After pausing for dramatic (or comedic) effect, she continues in a more serious vein. “With this record we feel like we’re finally there, after a long struggle. It’s like the song ‘Oasis,’ which is about slogging through the desert feeling like you’re completely lost, with no end to the road and very little hope. I wrote it as advice to myself to keep on walking, because in the middle of the desert there might be an oasis. And that’s what we’ve actually found.â€

Chameleon Project is back! Saturday night in the Saloon!!
-
Spookey sounded great, I really liked his power rock pop sound. They were so tight, it was like they should be playing at a Stadium. I didn't get to see the entire set, I was out getting a Pizza for SMMD.
As for Freeman Dre - they had a good stage presence. The singer is putting on a bit of a voice, which sounds like a smokey Tom Waits type. Their music sounds very irish, maybe wasn't the best fit. Talking to some of the audience, they both had conflicting views on the band, either loving it or hating it.
I was a bit disappointed that the opening bands didn't really draw much, I was really hoping that they would help expose SMMD to some new audiences. But for the most part the audience was the Toronto NuFunk/Jam/Slip fanbase.
I was great to see so many from the board; Amarfy, Guigsy, Zero, Dima, Passed out Guy, Basher, Isamuels etc...
I did record SMMD set, if anyone wants to hear it you can message me or email jay@360degreesartists.com

))))))))))))))))(((((((((((((((
MAD PROFESSOR:
A disciple of Lee “Scratch†Perry, Mad Professor was one of the leading producers in dub reggae’s second generation. His Dub Me Crazy albums helped dub make the transition into the digital age, when electronic productions started to take over mainstream reggae in the ’80s. His space-age tracks not only made use of new digital technology, but often expanded dub’s sonic blueprint, adding more elements and layers of sound than his forebears typically did. In the mid-’90s, he returned to the basics, debuting a more retro-sounding style on the Black Liberation Dub series. Additionally, he ran his own studio and label, Ariwa, which was home to a stable of vocalists (with an emphasis on lovers rock and conscious roots reggae) and some of the finest British reggae productions of the era. As his reputation grew, he became a remixer of choice for adventurous rock and techno acts, most notably revamping Massive Attack’s entire second album under the new title No Protection.
Equally renowned for producing deep roots reggae, trance-inducing dub and bitter sweet lover’s rock, the Mad Professor’s Ariwa Sounds stable is a veritable institution of British reggae.
TWILIGHT CIRCUS:
Twilight Circus is the acclaimed project of Canadian musician Ryan Moore. With 19 full-length albums and 20 vinyl singles released since 1995, Ryan Moore/Twilight Circus has received international recognition as one of the top producers in reggae and dub active today.
Spanning dub, reggae, electronic & even indie influences - featured guests on the recordings include Sly & Robbie, Luciano, Michael Rose (Black Uhuru), Big Youth, Gregory Isaacs, Sugar Minott, Queen Ifrica, Lutan Fyah, Style Scott (Roots Radics) & Dean Fraser. Twilight Circus has played 100's of live dates around the World with shows in the USA, Europe, UK, Canada, Asia, Middle East, Central & South America.
HOUSE OF DAVID GANG:
House of David Gang is one of Canada's busiest touring reggae bands. Rooted in the timeless tradition of Jamaican roots reggae from the 70s and early 80s as embodied by the immortal Bob Marley, Peter Tosh, and Bunny Wailer; House of David Gang adds a potent mix of jazz, funk and afrobeat to create a true global reggae orchestra.
Suma is thrilled to have these talented & soulful performers on board for DUB TIME!
CHOCOLATE & PATRICK ROOTS:
Reggae veterans DJ Chocolate and DJ Patrick Roots have been working the decks together since 2004, and their magical, rhythmic sets sound like they’ve been mixing together for much longer. Patrick’s been a major force at the U of T radio station for over 20 years, and Chocolate first stepped up to the decks and radio mic in 1994 and went on to start Toronto’s all-women DJ collective Chicks Dig It, open the first woman-owned vinyl mastering and recording studio Scratch Free and manage artists including the Dream Band and Kidd Rasta & The Peacemakers for her own company, Natty Posse Entertainment.
Get ready to sway your hips with a smile on your lips with these two on the decks!
ZUM ONE:
Deeply addicted to bass, Zum One has developed his artistic lexicon through participation in the tribal dance community. A rooted connection to the Earth has been another focus and inspiration to all his artistic projects. This is especially interesting, as Zum One is a digital artist, thus this deep ecological connection creates and interesting fusion between the organic and the electronic.
We’re excited to see what he pulls out of the crates for this DUB TIME set!
