De La Soul Plays Yonge and Dundas Square June 20th During NXNE 2010 (Video)
On June 20th, one of the greatest hip hop groups of all time took the stage at Yonge and Dundas Square in front of an audience of such a size rivalled only by that of Iggy Pop’s crowd the night before. To say that the De La Soul set was the most hype hip hop [...]

Kid Sister Plays Yonge and Dundas Square June 20th During NXNE 2010 (Video)

Zeus, Grand Analog, & Friends Impress NXNE Crowd @ The Rivoli June 17, 2010
Last night I attended the CBC Radio 2 NXNE showcase at The Rivoli on Queen. We got there pretty early, and beat what turned out to be a huge crowd that packed the small back room on the main floor of the Rivoli – at no later than 10pm the venue had reached capacity and [...]
