Thursday Sept. 15

Zoobombs are at the Silver Dollar bringing some J-rock explosion to town.

13 & God are at Lee's Palace. They are the Notwist are and Themselves together as one. Boy In Static are the openers

Friday Sept. 16

The White Stripes are at the Molson Amplitheatre. Sure the albums are getting worse, but they are still to rock you silly. The Greenhornes provide an opening act worth catching

Nouvelle Vague are at the Rivoli. A French band doing bossa nova covers?...sounds like an interesting show for sure.

Ladybug Mecca from Digable Planets is at the Sunnyside Pavillion. Support from Steve Spacek

The Hugh Dillon Redemption Choir is at the Mod Club as the Headstones legend continues to play. Armchair Cynics open.

Saturday Sept. 17

U2 play the final of 4 shows at the Air Canada Centre. I did have tickets to this show, however a wedding will prevent me from attending. Dashboard Confessional open here in Toronto. Montreal gets the Arcade Fire as their U2 opener, is this fair? Of course not, which eases the fact I can no longer go.

Jack Johnson and his legions are at the Molson Amplitheatre. Many people i know will be there...i will not. Matt Costa opens.

Wolf Eyes are sure to impress the crowd at the Horseshoe. On a different night I would surely be there.

Apocalyptica are in town at the Guvernment to help mollify the local metal fans. I haven't been to a metal show in a loong time. Soon methinks. Eyes Of Fire open.

Martha and the Muffins are at the Drake. Wow..did i read that right. I had no clue they were still (or have returned to) playing. Echo Beach may be the best tune every to come out of this city but I find this news a little pathetic.

C'mon vs Whitey Houston at the Rivoli is billed as the boogie rock-off. They will rock off again the next day as well.

Diamond Nights are at the El Mocambo. Also on the bill are the Illuminati , Rocketface and The Vacation

Jason Fowler is at Eastminster United Church

Sunday Sept. 18

Bruce Cockburn headlines a benefit to save St. Stephens-in-the-fields church, with a notorious Canadiana lineup i'm sure my parents would enjoy. Also on the bill are Molly Johnson , Daniel Lanois and Jane Siberry


Monday Sept. 19

Pearl Jam is at the Air Canada Centre. Opening is Sleater-Kinney and i'm usually up for anything Sleater-Kinney, but not opening for Vedder and company for $60.

Sigur Rós are at Massey Hall. Iceland is the new Seattle....or is it Montreal?

The National are at the Horseshoe with support from We Are Scientists

Athlete are the Opera House in what is a very eventful Monday night here. Matt Pond PA open

Tuesday Sep 20

Röyksopp are at the Opera House, supported by Annie I'd go for Annie alone but this double bill is superb. Maybe it's Norway that's the new Seattle.

Switchfoot are at the Mod Club playing a show for contest winners only

The Bloody Hollies are at the Silver Dollar. The Willowz provide support.

Wednesday Sep 21

Sounds Like Justice III benefit at the Mod Club. Benefit for the Association in defense of the wrongly convicted. On the bill are Shaye , Andy Stochansky , Andy Kim , Danny Michel and Justin Rutledge

I wanted too see for myself the encompassing scope of a week of concerts here. If anyone is reading i might just continue this.
