It's that time of year again. When I pack up a bunch of the grimiest girls on and off the decks into a car and we traverse the Great Canadian North. The tour diary has become just a legendary as the parties of the years, so i hope I don't disappoint you with this one. First thing's first, we are NOT cut out for car rentals. For some reason this tour does not come equipped with licenses that go with credit cards. Those two things do not mix in the same wallet, so our friend Kitty offered to drive. She can't...

It's been too long since I've felt the Mod Club move like it did Sunday night. After a weekend of pride-whoring myself out, I seriously didn't know how I was going to stand upright or stay awake. Moments after settling in, the band took stage and it was as though I was slapped in the face with awesome. Minus the Bear was thunderous! As a band with a well-buzzed about live show, an opener like "Drilling" makes it inherently obvious why. I could not peel my eyes away from the stage! The stage itself was fairly bareboned...

NXNE is in town and not only does the festival promise hotshot bands from all over the world but it also mans extended serving hours! In honor of keeping the party going we've compiled the PinkMafia Best of 4am Guide for NXNE.

We can't make any promises but there's a good chance that Eagles of Death Metal are going...

Wednesday Night:

Zeus, Jason Collett, and Bahamas at Lee's Palace [caption id="attachment_7612" align="alignnone" width="400" caption="Bahamas"][/caption] Jason Collett has always a staple in my music library but for some reason, Wednesday night was my first experience with his backing band Zeus and Afie Jurvanen's one-man-magical act, Bahamas. The three groups came together in what I would call one of the most incredible collaborations I've ever seen live. The stage was set like a cozy living room (equipped with vintage lampshades that kept getting in the way of Collett's flounce of hair and during Mike O'Brian's guitar...

SCION threw a party @ MOD Club.

On the menu were: Drop The LIme (whom we 20 Questioned on the day of), label mate AC Slater, and Canadians Jokers of the Scene and Nacho Lovers (also 20 Questioned). 3 bloggers reviewed and Al D took some snaps. Read below for what's what.

Nacho Lovers. They're Canadian Eh. And on Fool's Gold Records, also Canadian. They're playing a show in Toronto next Thursday (SCION @ Mod Club). Toronto is in Canada too. Jokers of the Scene (also Canadian) are on the bill too. What a bunch of hosers. Andrew Ross, one half of Nacho Lovers was kind enough to take our 20 Qs. Check below. Andrew is the handsome gent on the left. Keep your ears peeled for their new single "Deeper" which is out on Fool's Gold this Spring. 1. What is your dream of happiness? being peaceful and comfortable. 2. Blonde...

Ke$ha (pronounced  ke-sha) is one odd duck. She’s been a stalker. She’s broken into Prince’s house and she digs dudes with mullets. It’s balls out with this girl and her character is noted and sparkles and rules, but her audience is not hearing anything they’ve never heard before. On Sunday night, Ke$ha made her Canadian debut at the Mod Club to gaggles of girls and industry insiders. There was drum-banging, bouncing and thrashing, all under the influence of a shiny substance called glitter. The set was about 30 minutes and ended with chart-topping single Tik Tok...

For those who are musically savvy, you've heard of RJD2 and been on his jock for some time now.  But for those not in the know, RJD2 has been in the hip hop game for ten years now.  For most, his game is just on the DL.  He started in Ohio with his own (now defunct) indie record label and making his own beats.  From there, he traveled the world performing and worked with some notable notables such as Massive Attack, Mos Def and Polyphonic Sphree.  Sure, things have changed for RJD2 (bigger studio, bigger gigs - like his one...
