NXNE 2014 Wed Music Festival Toronto Pics

The Ian Fays

Nice people – they were already finished, when i got to the “Boat”
The baby plays the drums!

The Van Allen Belt

Had a video running behind them that was by itself a wonderful work of art. Could have used a little less bass rumble.
The Girl can sing and the band was a man with a computer, with another guy with a keyboard. Above average for the “Indie Music Biz” but played to 15 people. Sad waste of time for a group to travel so far and not to be promoted. See pic below

 

Old and Weird

these Cute young girls played to a busy bar across the street.  And made better by the province of NOVA SCOTIA
But sadly badly off key singing made them miss my top ten … please get better

Monomyth

Right on after the girls — these boys could sing — packed house — nice to see so many “young people”
maybe there is hope of live music after all.  your usual “indie Music Stuff” nothing outstanding in songwriting dept

Fevers

Both singers could hold a note, but were usually lost in the mix. Great lights, above average in the “indie Music Stuff”
had great energy — but only got a “c-”  in songwriting.  too bad indie music people do not go to class about writing good
pop hooks — you know the song that drives you nuts — in your head — you need to hear it again
