Diamond Eyes tour; Twin Shadow; Cults at the Horseshoe Tavern

Official post and a complete list here, but alt-metal veterans Deftones and The Dillinger Escape Plan are ~~co-headlining~~ actually, TDEP are the openers for the 2011 Diamond Eyes tour. Their first show is mid-April in Seattle, Washington.

There are a couple of Canadian stops on the first leg (namely Vancouver on the 18th and Montreal on May 4th). The closest they're coming Toronto-wise is Detroit, Michigan. If they're headed your way- even if you've only heard of them- I strongly recommend it. These guys do not disappoint.

The Horseshoe Tavern will be playing host to George Lewis Jr. (aka Twin Shadow) come Wednesday of next week. The show is 19+, but they don't usually cost much; the only possible concern is maximum capacity at the venue.

Also on their way to the Horseshoe Tavern this April 4th is New York indie pop group, Cults. More dates here.

A human experience, through audio.

Despite its title, the Drop covers all genres, including EDM. It focussed primarily on the local Toronto scene until 2013, after which most of my written music coverage shifted to The B-Side, a publication friends and I founded at UC Berkeley. During that time, this page has held more poetry and personal musings, but as of 2017, I'm back to covering what I did best here -- new and unique sounds.
