The Sounds @ The Commodore Ballroom

We had the opportunity to check out the Sounds show at the commodore last night and I have to say it was unbelievable. The energy of the band was incredible, especially the performance of Maja Ivarsson(lead vocals), she sang until she lost her voice.
The show carried on easily for over an hour and a half and with the speakers quite possibly as loud as they could get. It felt quite simply, like a Saturday night on a Monday evening. Despite having my car towed and having to get it out of the impound lot, it is definitely going to be a highlight show of the year to me.

On Saturday night we were invited to attend a Letter Press party that was put on by the new W2 project in the DTES. The night was overall, awesome.
We met with some friends working with the project who showed us how the letter presses worked and along with some beers and some good music we were able to use these wood blocks and take some paper to create anything with them. Once done we were able to show them on the wall of the venue. it was so packed with other people trying out the blocks that it was hard to find any letters to use, so we just made do with what was available.
Some of the Djs included:
The Funk Hunters
These guys were awesome, they had 4 turntables and a great sound. mash-ups of some old funk and great mixing.
M.C Thinktank
Again, great sound. You should check out his page!
This party was great. Here's some pictures!
