Canada Day 2006

Each year Canada Day seems to be turning out to be an even bigger holiday than ever! This time around, the long weekend in Toronto is solidly booked with great events. To kick things off proper, be sure to catch Quivering Virgin, Shankar, Metalogic, and the legendary Gus Till for a BLA event this evening. Gus Till released the long-awaited Bus debut last year (see my review) and has recently returned from stunning the crowd at the Gaian Mind Festival down in Pennsylvania last weekend. The reports were phenomenal, so we can expect a great show tonight!

The party continues immediately after the BLA event down at Cherry Beach. Shakti is organizing an open air event featuring Plan B, Sketi, Tyler, Rook, Lexicon, Jarek, and Scott Guy. Details here (bottom of the thread).

Perhaps a short nap is in order before the fireworks begin Saturday night at Ontario Place and Downsview Park. I’ll be playing out at Darkrave v.77 later on (1:30 – 3:00am), and you can expect some gritty high-energy tunes to keep you shaking deep into the night.

Happy 139th Birthday, Canada!
