Friday night @ NXNE
A few of us really wanted to catch Dum Dum Girls on Friday night, so me, Meghan and Kristen went to Lee’s Palace early. We got there just before doors, and there was barely a line; a few minutes and … Continue reading

NXNE Night #3: The Breezes, Enjoy Your Pumas, Ruby Coast and more
Friday night is always an intense night at NXNE — having spent the two prior nights up late and up early for work makes staying up until 4am a little tricky. I gave it my best shot last night, and … Continue reading

Every year it starts the same, with my “I can’t believe it’s NXNE again already!” post. But seriously guys, CMW feels like it was a week or two ago. I may not have been completely ready for NXNE last night, … Continue reading

Fred Penner @ Drake Underground
I had the chance to see a lot of amazing acts over the course of CMW but I definitely had the most fun watching Fred Penner take the stage at Drake Underground on Saturday night for the Paquin Showcase. By … Continue reading
