What images come to mind when you think of Horse Meat? Now close your eyes and just think for a minute: animals, raw meat, something raunchy and disgusting – am I right?  The last thing you probably think of is – disco?  James Hillard of Horse Meat Disco, playing at Wrongbar on Friday September 24, 2010, is just one in a four-man disco entourage also including residents Jim Stanton, Severino and Luke Howard (aka Filthy Luka) that has been taking the UK by storm. So who exactly are these dudes who have decided to helm this disco revival? ...

We've been taking our vitamins and getting our beauty sleep. We've stood in line for mani pedi's and booked our blow outs. It's that time of year again, people, time for the great tradition of the TIFF gauntlet. It's the Cannonball Run of Toronto events. 10 days of celebs, dinner reservations, pretending to care about movies, and partaaaays. If it's your first TIFF, you'll probably spen all your time up in Dorkville trying to catch a glimpse of Helen Mirrin or Clive Owen lunch at that vile One or coming out wine-drunk from risotto and low lighting at Sotto Sotto. If...

Clothes Make The Man, The Darcys, & Hollerado @ Le Boat

You've probably seen him everywhere. And I mean every effing where. Maybe as  Nav Sangha working almost every record store in the city, as Nasty Nav DJing at every decent club or making up half of the the evil mastermind duo behind Wrongbar (yfy). Nav was the first one to take the 20 Qs, in fact they were created to interview him for now defunct, Hot Flux Magazine. We lost the originals, so he took them again. Wrongbar is by far the best dance floor in the west end. They recently launched a Jamaican inspired menu too that's quite delish. 1. What...

Exclaim! Rooftop Party W/ The Flatliners @ London Tap House, June 18th

After this year's NXNE, I've decided that I want my life to only consist of going to fun parties and drinking and eating for free. Seriously. Do you know how awesome free beer is? Because, it's awesome.

My photographer Steph and I headed over to London Tap House on Friday for an "exclusive" Exclaim! bbq. After waiting outside due to the venue already being at capacity (FYI--it opened at 3, was at capacity by 3:30pm) we headed up to the rooftop patio for a seriously wicked party. Upstairs,...

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.

Wednesday June 16

At SxSW in 2009, The Golden Filter were the one's one watch (or so said people like Pitchfork and other music snob-authorities). We just loved shaking our asses to "Solid Gold" the only song that played on repeat from their website. Now they've got a full-length album, Voulspa, out and a show this Saturday (June 12th) at Wrongbar. They were also nice enough to take the 20 Qs for us leading up to it. 1. What is your dream of happiness? Creating 2. Blonde or Brunette? Ginger 3. What is the quality you...

Safariing through Pennsylvanian tunnels and a New York City hangover, Two Door Cinema Club's fair-haired and seemingly arcane front man, Alex Trimble has PinkMafia curiously drawn to the forecast at Wrongbar for today's SOLD OUT show. Curt through and through, here's a glimpse beyond this Irish tiger's eye: PinkMafia: You formed your band not too long ago, in 2007. If you hadn't started a band, what do you think you'd be doing now? Alex Trimble: When I left school I was going to go study music production. I would probably still be doing that if we weren’t touring. PM:...
