Photo Dump: Dead Broke and The Dying Arts in Toronto, March 21st

On March 21^st, The Dying Arts and Dead Broke played support for Restorations at the Horseshoe Tavern. Though I lack photograph evidence of the headliner band, I do have several of shots of these two dynamic openers.

Dead Broke have always excelled at entertaining the crowd during the set, but they certainly outdid themselves at their first Horseshoe show, including introducing various members of the crowd, high-jumps, and of course an impromptu mid-song healing ceremony.

The Dying Arts, meanwhile, have played The Horseshoe Tavern numerous times, but that didn’t make the 21^st any less exciting. The band ripped through their songs with their signature raw energy, drawing a growing crowd as the set went on.

Photo Dump: FRNKIERO AND THE CELLABRATION in Toronto, February 25th 2015

In February this year, Frank Iero- guitarist of My Chemical Romance fame- returned to Toronto for the first time since forming FRNKIERO AND THE CELLABRATION. This was the band's first headlining tour, and the fast-paced and exciting set featured songs from the debut album Stomachaches. One highlight, though, was when they were joined by touring support Homeless Gospel Choir to cover Boxcar by Jawbreaker. After this mesmerizing show, Iero stayed to meet each and every concertgoer waiting to express thanks or get something signed: a line that spanned through the small venue.
