Music in Toronto This Saturday Night?

[MangoTango]

Hi!

I'm going to be in Toronto this Saturday for a wedding. Only have one night in town (coming in from SF, CA), but was wondering if there are any good bands or recommended msuic venues to check out.

Thanks!

Seems like tonight is more the night to get down. But take a gander at this to see if anything pops out at you...

Kaiser Cheifs - been meaning to check them out - that could be an option

Haven't been in Toronto since the APril 94 Phish show - which included a wonderful blizzard

You may want to check out blues/folk guitarist and songwriter Chris Smither at Hugh's Room. He is an underground legend and has been around for a long time. He is a great guitarist and a really good songwriter.

Type in his name on the All Music Guide. You will be impressed:

I won't even ask if that picture is of you or Chris, but that could be a good show as well

Out of curiosity, we're staying at the Hilton down on Richmond Street West - are there good places within walking distance of that hood?

Your hotel is right downtown and a block away from the jazz club The Rex ( which is Queen and University, just west of University on Queen Street - your hotel is Richmond and University, just south of Queen & Richmond ).

The Horseshoe Taven is on Queen Street, about 6 blocks west of Queen & University. Note: When you get to your hotel, you will notice the new Opera House currently being built just north of your hotel. The Opera House is located on the corner of Queen and University and Richmond and University.

There are tons of clubs in the area of your hotel. Pick a gig and I'll give you directions. I work really close to your hotel tomorrow - if you get lost or frustrated, I'll help you out.

You could always catch the Blue Jays versus the Twins in the afternoon.

Keane is playing Massey Hall on Saturday. Arrive early and ask one of the smokers outside to try to get someone's ticket stub from inside and bring it out to you. Massey Hall has in/out priviliges with stubs. Its a beautiful venue located just off Yonge St. just south of Dundas St. Look for the huge neon sign out front.
