It was Canadian Music Week/Fest this past week in Toronto. Usually I'm a real hater for this festival because I think their wristband system is a total rip off, but I gotta say, I had a good time this year.
Probably because I bought tickets to the shows I wanted...
More money, but certainly worth it.
Friday I went to the POP Montreal showcase briefly at The Drake, and then ran over to Lee's to catch Bombay Bicycle Club! I discovered these guys in early 2009 thanks to the BBC, and I've been waiting for them to come to Toronto ever since. They're stupid young, but really talented!
Saturday I went to the Indies at the Royal York to see my lovely friends Shad and Tlo open up for Janelle Monae. Here's his version of Call Waiting over TLC's Creep.
Janelle Monae was LOTS of fun... but here's a little bit of her softer side.
She hosted the 2nd half of The Main Ingredient which turned into a crazy dance party on stage, and if you skip over to the 2min mark in this video, you'll catch her vibing out to California :)
Cheers CMW/F... I kinda don't hate you as much anymore.
