notes from the blue book

Music night at north York library

Concert starts late at least their is a coat check Pah being the only adult other than the staff at this event has brought her own BYOB and I am not sharing.

The crowd at this event is real young crowd high school and some jr highs are in attendance for some this is their first concert their parents have allowed them to go to on their own.

I over hear one of the girls say she has a curfew till eleven and the concert cant go any later can it?

Drinks of water are offered since this concert is PG-13 Exclaim Mag is one of the major sponsors of this event all the better to indoctrinate the young as to what good music is, this is way before Disney's Jonas brothers have taken over the youth who don't know good music.

too bad ckln is so WKRP that we could not be a sponsor for this event.

Door prizes are given away before each band and who hoo I win a bag again I do not plan to share my loot with those who did not win.

This concert is not a sitting down concert first we are in auditorium of the library all chairs have been put away so it's stand in front and sway to the sounds of the band.

I need to find out who is the organizer of this event see if I can't get liquid Ltd to play for next year.

Slim twig hits the stage at 8:30 with a rockabilly sound their is 3 in the band and they all command the stage to get our attention. I hear cello, small organ guitar, base,and drums.
Most of the artist are on Paper Bag Records its not for the small but appreciative crowd.

Free Music samplers of cd's are given away I cant wait to play it on the radio.
Hey an Ipod is being used as musical instrument never saw that before.

Listen to white fantasy song download it off my space it's a great song.

If you saw the Bruce McDonald film Tracey fragments staring it girl Ellen Page then you would have seen Slim Twig.

The bands Mingle with their fans what concert have you been to lately where you were able to do that?

Masia One Is she the Next Canadian Rap Asian style perform with hip hop dancers and listen to the sounds of her female scratch DJ major one . It's so cool to bring back the b-girl DJ Eloquence puts a great mix together .

Masia one originally comes from Montreal roots Eraka Badhu remix concept air brush looks remind me as a female dizzie rascal.
The Crowd is to young to dance with abandon the young is too self conscious.
Girl -B-girl Dancers and Japanese to boot hey ala Gwen and Missy Elliot.

Winter Gloves is next to play only 2 more bands to play I think.
Music sounds mighty fine and the band connects with the audience.
Gentlemen Reg saw him at Hillside and now he his head lining at Make some noise event Toronto public. library major step up.
Gentlemen is from Montreal it seams Montreal is becoming a big music scene so big that bands come to Toronto to spread their wings.

Clock strikes 11pm the crowd got smaller as the time got later 4 in band hillside will be battle ground.

I want to contact Paper Bag Records see what else is on their line up of indie Music?

What about a girl? / Vinyl albums is coming back thanks to slim twig and gentle men reg.

Concert CD mix would be great it was a great all ages event way up in North York.
