Thursday night the Mod Club traded in their Ben Sherman and indie style duds for corsets, pvc and bondage clothing as Lye and The Birthday Massacre took over the popular College st. nightclub.
The night could have been quite disastrous for opening band Lye whose drummer, Dustin Williams, was unable to cross the border the weekend prior to the show. Luckily Lye was able to recruit a friend of theirs who was able to play along flawlessly for the most part. The odd fill was missed here and there but their new drummer seemed quite confident of the material.
Virgin Festival returned to Toronto for its second year of rocking the Islands last weekend, officially ending a summer of outdoor festivals. This musical orgy of a festival, with roots starting in England, featured more bands than should be legally allowed. For the event, 3 stages were erected as well as a beer tent featuring DJ’s. Unfortunately, most people couldn’t experience the full extent of the festival, due to the overwhelming amount of acts. For the most part, people just camped out at the main Virgin stage waiting for the headlining acts.
