I’ve been anticipating a bumper crop of concerts in Toronto this fall, and what a harvest it’s going to be! Tune-yards, Lykke Li, Peter Bjorn and John, Ra Ra Riot… my wallet’s going to be as empty and cold as my ex-boyfriend’s parents. And so, Music Between Friends presents our fall edition of the Toronto Concert Update.

That’s it for now, friends. Enjoy the concerts and make sure to grab a band tee for me.
Before Lykke Li even got on stage, Montreal singer 
After Grimes left the stage, it was a quick transition stage wise, but it felt like we waited forever for the main event. The crowd even did the awkward ‘yell-excitingly-everytime-someone-goes-on-stage-even-if-it’s-just-an-audio-person-checking-a-wire” thing around 10 times as we waited. All they wanted was to hear the Swedish beauty sing pop-infused ballads, is that so wrong. Needless to say, it was well worth the wait.
