MY PROJECT: BLUE
From Vancouver, BC, My Project: Blue is the latest signing to Boompa Records, considered by some to be THE up-and-coming west-coast Canadian label. MP:B join Ladies and Gentlemen as part of an impressive roster of bands, and are playing in Toronto for the first time, on their way to Pop Montreal. With a sound similar to Belle and Sebastian, My Project: Blue lean more towards jangly pop than Glaswegian twee, with brief shades of Neil Halstead showing through the cracks. Their debut album is due out in October; this is your chance to catch the band before they hit the indie-rock mainstream.

Members of BROKEN SOCIAL SCENE
With their recently leaked, self-titled follow-up to their hugely successful album, You Forgot It In People, Broken Social Scene are back in the spotlight again. Obviously the October 4th release date didn't stop the ravenous fans from tracking down what looks to be another hit for these Toronto locals.

For this show, we have the chance to check out some different, and eclectic material from a number of core members of this band, which forms the backbone of the Arts & Crafts record label. What to expect? We aren't even sure ourselves, but we do know it'll be well worth the price of admission.

PROBLEM
These guys are new. Jeremy Finkelstein of No Dynamics on drums. A bunch of others guys I don't know. I've seen some clips of them playing, and they have a Television-like feel. This will fill out as more information comes in.

KAT BURNS
Here is what Stuart Berman has to say about Kat: As long as there guys who listen to indie-rock, there will be sweet-singing girls with guitars for them to crush out on. This track, from Burns’ new six-song EP, plays like a cordial conversation between Chan Marshall and Elliott Smith (assuming they could hear what the other was whispering). Listen to: Now Now
