I know somebody here who wants to make a trip to Toronto in September. So I figured I'd ask here cause I thought we had a local or two. Any gigs?

She also wants to know if where a good metal club or bar is there?




Never had much desire to travel there personally. Demilich? Got any tips?
 
TO is my hometown, sorta kinda :)

Not sure about "metal" bars, but there are a lot of shows at the Reverb/ Kathedral and Kool Haus.
Also, check out Savage Garden and Velvet Underground for metal nights...
I do know that if you want to be in the cool area of town, where all the metal-heads/ goth/ alternative scene is: Queen St. West is where you wanna be.
 
Forgot to mention... all those places I mentioned above ARE on Queen St. West so - when you get to town: find the city hall building on queen st. and go straight on the street: you'll find all the cool stores (cds/ goth clothes/ rock/ little cafes etc) and the Much Music building (the Canadian MTV)
Pretty much, it's like the Canadian Camden Town (in London)
 
Karen, I had no idea you had any affiliation with my hometown!

That is great! It is a pretty decent city.


also, Queen West is pretty tame compared to Camden Town iirc but I get the connection

uh... tips? hmm... unfortunately the Metal Bar has shut down so scratch that potential recommendation. I hardly ever go to gigs so I'll basically just second everything Dead Lioness said. Unless I think of something. I'm sure I'm missing 9 million things.

Well, there is only one Camden... you're right :Smug: but I was trying to compare it to something he might know...

Yeah, TO is awesome. I used to live on Queen's Quay st, right on the water front and used to spend most of my days and most of my nights at Queen St. West :lol:
I fucking miss it. I had a great time there. Maybe one day I'll find myself up there again, you never know.

Dem: have a cup of Timmie for me tomorrow morning, will ya?
 
Oh I will :lol:

I never go there cause I never carry cash on me, but I will anyway cause I have a fiver in my wallet right now :loco:

If you're ever back in town, drop me a PM and we could possibly meet up for a drink or a gig or something

Where are you in TO?

Talking about it just made me think of all the million things I used to do there... and all of a sudden I'm singing... "967-11-11" :lol:
Don't ask me why! hehe

I'll def drop you a line when I'm back there!! :kickass:
 
I'm actually up in Thornhill, around Bayview & Steeles

But I work down in the westside around Jane & St Clair :erk:, and spent a good time further east on St Clair around Bathurst where a good friend lives. Good part of town, that. Nice restaurants and stuff.
