bradm Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 I know The John Henrys are playing at The Dakota Tavern as part of NXNE on Thursday, June 12, which is a show I'd try to be at if I were in Toronto.Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c-towns Posted June 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Do you have to get a pass or can you go to individual shows the website isn't helping me out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 the website says you can get a 3 day pass or single day wristbands. it also says the wristband will "save hundreds in cover charges" - that leads me to believe that you can pay cover as well.might want to email them or call a venue, they'd know better than me.

Jaimoe Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 (edited) It feels like the NXNE organizers piggybacked onto the MMJ show next week. In that case, I'll be at one NXNE gig. I can't make The John Henrys since I work nights this week... but I'd love to hear back from anyone who shells out to see that lunatic Evan Dando.

jazzyjeff Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 (edited) We are thinking about going but I am not sure if wristbands would be worth it. Last year it seemed like the big shows were tough to get into unless you were there very early and stayed all night. I am also a bit confused about how many wristbands they will let into each show. I know only 50 are allowed in for MMJ so you'd have to line up to get in with a pass. Here are some other bands that are playing (other than those already listed):Pride Tiger, Redd Cross, Royal Wood, Sloan, Teenage Lead (Dundas Square), Besnard Lakes, High Dials, Meligrove Band, Stills, Trews acoustic, Two-hours Traffic, Bedouin Soundclash.

c-towns Posted June 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 It feels like the NXNE organizers piggybacked onto the MMJ show next weekI highly doubt that, this is an annual event, if anything its likely the other way around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 Maybe, but the fest has never been mentioned on the MMJ wedsite, which I find is a little strange. I'm friends with a Toronto-based friend of the band and she didn't know anything about the NXNE connection either. I don't care one way or the other; it's good on the festival and good on MMJ.

AD Posted June 9, 2008 Report Share Posted June 9, 2008 the MMJ show is technically after NXNE is finished which is strange, even though they're on the website etcoh well. not like they need the cache of playing a regional industry fest - they sold out Radio City in 22 minutes.
