TORONTO THAW THAW'D TORONTO

Toronto is a great city. The bands in it are great and the friends too. Telephone Explosion is a damned great label, and they put on the most fun festival to date. Every band that matters played over 3 days at 3 different venues. It was like a punch to the feeble throat of CMW. It was truly a weekend of all weekends.

Welcome to spring in the city, boys and girls.

Oh yeah, check out this EYE WEEKLY article about the festival that Rich Trapunski wrote. They don't like to "do" photo credits, but those are mine if you couldn't tell. Except the last one of METZ, that's David Waldman's.
