Article: Chris #2 of Anti-Flag

In February of this year, I followed the Anti-Flag as they played five cities across Ontario in the span of a week. At one of those shows, I had the opportunity to interview bassist Chris #2. Below the cut is an article based on that interview, as well as some photos I took that week. To see more Anti-Flag photos from the rest of the tour, check out the rest of MindTheMusicTO!

Photos and Videos: Solo Night at The Smiling Buddha, April 13th

On april 13th, the Smiling Buddha hosted a solo, mostly acoustic night. After Gunk performed sad spoken word accompanied by his guitar, Organ Thieves member Chuck Coles mesmerized the audience with several original songs, as well as a cover of Sorrow by Bad Religion that left those listening with chills.

Drew Thomson of Single Mothers closed out the night- though before playing music, he started by reading two short stories he’s written in zines about a summer spent with family in Swastika, Ontario (yes, as he grimly assured us, there is unfortunately still a place of that name).

Below the cut are some photos and (shaky) videos from the night.

Photos and Video: PPOP Up Market 2 in Toronto, March 22nd 2015

Well this is a long time coming! Unfortunately due to a combination of very limited internet at home (apparently Bell likes it when you pay your bills- who knew?!) and what may or may not be a computer virus, I have been trying to get this post up for a long time, and now am finally able to. So without further ado, here are some photos from People Put Out Productions' PPOP Up Market #2- and even a video!
