DevO Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 (edited) Hey y'all, Toronto is the place to be this week/weekend with the NXNE festival bringing us a gazillion great shows. For those of us who aren't getting passes, what is the deal with getting into individual shows? Can you get to a show without a NXNE pass? I want to go to this: And also might try to get in to the Dakota for some of Dave Myles' show.

AD Posted June 14, 2010 Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 Kev, Kelp Records BBQ on Friday afternoon. See you there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevO Posted June 14, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2010 Interesting! Thanks for the heads up, I didn't know about this. I work that day but will see about making it for the last band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoodRev Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 These shows tend to be 10-15 bucks if you don't have a pass. If it's busy inside sometimes they'll hold non-passholders for a while and then eventually let you in.We (Huron) were lucky to be asked to play the Horseshoe on the Saturday night with Attack in Black, Bruce Peninsula, Hannah Georgas and Library Voices. The whole thing is gonna be broadcast live-to-air on CBC 3. We're on at 1am for anybody who's gonna be near a computer and up late! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 That show will be uber-packed from 8pm onwards methinks. Great bill to be a part of, Rev! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevO Posted June 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 I'm thinking about getting a 1 day pass for this Friday, as all the shows are adding up. I don't have the schedule in front of me now(*), but here's what I remember caught my eye:- Kelp records BBQ- Dark Mean at Sneaky Dee's- Dave Myles, Old Man Luedecke (sp) at the Dakota- Golden Dogs, White Cowbell Oklahoma, Rich Aucoin, etc at El MocamboThursday night looks packed full of good stuff - wish I wasn't working on Friday! Saturday is the Toront Island show - will have to see if I have any energy left once I get back to the mainland that night. If I can swing it though, Horseshoe it is!* NXNE and NOW magazine's online listings for NXNE are hard to follow. This week's print edition of NOW, however, makes it a bit easier to map out what is happening where. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mister slippery Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 Myself, I can't wait for the Raveonettes, before Iggy.That's the big one for me. :content: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted June 15, 2010 Report Share Posted June 15, 2010 I'm working the MMVAs on Saturday and Sunday, during the day. After my Saturday shift, which will include monitoring soundchecks by some of the world's worst acts such as Justin Bieber, Adam Lambert, Katy Perry, Ke$ha, Drake, Hedley and Miley Cyrus, I'll be staggering up Yonge Street to have my soul cleansed by Iggy & The Stooges.

Jaimoe Posted June 17, 2010 Report Share Posted June 17, 2010 With Williamson, the Stooges may even do some solo Iggy such as "I'm Bored" - Williamson played on several Iggy albums including Face Values. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AD Posted June 18, 2010 Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 Mudhoney kind of sucked, X was awesome, then i went to bed and missed the secret Japandroids show at the Dakota.Kelp today!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevO Posted June 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2010 I went to see The Africa Trilogy (a play, part of Luminato) and saw no music!Still not sure what my game plan is for today, but I'm leaning towards spending the whole night at the El Mocambo. Not sure if I'll make it down to the hostel for the Kelp BBQ - looks like I'll be putting in a full day at work! :crazy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewRider Posted June 19, 2010 Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 Five Things I Love About NXNE1. Zeus2. Getting to see KevO3. Freely being able to walk backstage and tell off a dude from Universal Music.4. That dude from Universal Music NOT punching me in the face.5. Chris Murphy walking into me and spilling my beer and me calling him a "turbo douche" for not saying he's sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay Funk Dawg Posted June 19, 2010 Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 great NXNE so far... Busy weekend in Toronto. I'm going to this show case tonight.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted June 19, 2010 Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 This'll be the lineup tonight, although I bet Williamson will be in even better form given he was filling in for the recently deceased Ron Asheton for this Hall of Fame performance. This fucking rocks: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoodRev Posted June 19, 2010 Report Share Posted June 19, 2010 Ends at 11. Not possible to do both. Too bad, would love to see the stooges. ...but plenty of time to get the Shoe to see us... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
