Canadian Music Week – night one last night

Last night was a lot of fun, seeing a few bands that I’d never heard before, in venues that were familiar.  I took in clubs that were right across the street from each other: The Hideout and Tattoo Rock Parlour. Then, I  went down the street a bit to the Cadillac Lounge. I’ll have some video online shortly from the first of four nights! We’ll see how many I make it out to!

Bands I saw: Abandon All Ships, The Rebellion, Good And Broken, TV Heart Attack, PUMPS, The Cringe, Tin Star Orphans, Eddie Orso.

Video I did for Alex Grey at his art opening in Toronto, June 2009

This was the second time I’d had the pleasure to meet Alex Grey and his wife Allyson. They were in Toronto last summer to open a show called “Anatomy of Being.”

So, I headed down to the opening and brought my trusty DVX100 along for the ride to shoot a little video.

It was a very enjoyable summer evening, filled with visionary art, enlightening conversations, stimulating connections and good vibes, as always!

I think some magic of the evening was captured!  Well, see for yourself!

I’ll be at Canadian Music Week and Film Festival

I’m going to be blogging/video blogging about some of my experiences at Canadian Music Week, happening from March 10 to 14, in Toronto. It should be a lot of fun, as I’m a music lover and have done a lot of music-related videos and film work. For more info on CMW, see their site: http://www.cmw.net

Also, of particular interest to the filmmaker and film lover in me is the Canadian Music Week Film Festival, which runs from March 12 to 13. There is a new Doors documentary called “WHEN YOU’RE STRANGE” and a film about John Lennon titled “NOWHERE BOY”. I’m looking forward to them both, and there are some other interesting films, including a screening of the 1974 Brian De Palma, classic “PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE” !
