CONCERT ROUND UP
The spring concert season is really shaping up. Tons of great shows have been confirmed since my last post, so let's round them up.
The Dodos, who's album Visiter has been on constant rotation on my iPod in the last couple weeks play the El Mocambo on April 9th. Tickets, $8, on sale at Rotate, read Pitchfork's album review here.
Thunderheist are at Lee's on April 11th. Tickets available now at Rotate. This show is being billed as their last Toronto show for the next while, so if you want to see them, check them out now.
Diplo plays Wrongbar on April 19th. Tickets are $ 15 (tickets for all these shows are available at Rotate). Dan Bejar's Destroyer are at Lee's Palace the same night.
Peter Moren (of Peter, Bjorn and John) in support of his first solo album The Last Tycoon plays Mod Club on April 24th. The Last Tycoon is out April 8th on Quarterstick Records.
Kate Nash, who I want to love because Foundations is such an amazing song, but cannot because I can't get into the entire album is at the Phoenix on April 28th.
Eric Warner's 2008 edition of Over The Top Festival is now on sale. Highlights that interest me: Kevin Barnes (Of Montreal) solo at Mod Club on May 4th, High Places at Ukula on May 3rd, Woodhands at Sneaky Dee's on May 1st and Rock Central Plaza at St. Stephen's on May 1st. Eric has also programmed a film festival for this year's edition, check out the festival site for more information.
The Teenagers show originally scheduled for May 1st at Anti has been moved to Lee's Palace. Apparently Anti were denied their liquor license and will not be opening (the old Spin Gallery).
Tokyo Police Club's two night stand at the Opera House on May 3rd and 4th are on sale (night one is sold out).
Robyn (the new Annie, but not as euro-cheese and not new since her album actually came out a couple years back and is only now getting a North American release) plays The Phoenix on May 5th.
M83 are at the Opera House on May 30th. Their (or is it only one guy now???) new album Saturdays = Youth has leaked and I really love it. So good.
MIA is back in Toronto at Sound Academy (WORST.IDEA.EVER!!!) with Holy Fuck on June 2nd. Tickets are $35 (what?). Let's hope that this time the volumes are kept to an acceptable level, her last show at Kool Haus was a nightmare.
That's it for now.
