Back in the summer I got to check out Urge Overkill when they played at the Legendary Horseshoe Tavern. Warming things up were Bella Clava, an alt-rock band from Thunder Bay now based in Toronto. This time round, they’re opening for Playdeaf Nov 3rd at the Bovine on Queen west. Here are a couple pix from the Horseshoe gig and a link to the full gallery. Bella Clava @ the Horseshoe check em out!

A Nevado Records showcase featuring psych-rock band Yukon Blonde, pop-fusion outfit The Paint Movement and singer-songwriter pianist Megan Bonnell took place April 8, 2011 at the Horseshoe Tavern.
Megan Bonnell started things off with a set of songs about love and relationships, a bit mellow for the rock n roll type crowd on hand, but none the less appreciative of her talents.
Then it was onto The Paint Movement, a musical smorgasbord of sounds, rythyms and melodies. A very interesting band to check out.
And finally we had the headliners, Yukon Blonde. I’ve wanted to see them live since I first heard “brides song” on CBC Radio. This feeling was further enhanced when I heard ‘Wind Blows’ and ‘babies don’t like blue’.
The crowd was ready to be rocked, and with the radiators blasting out unnessary heat in the room, Yukon Blonde didn’t take long to get the place all sweaty and jumpin’. Please leave a comment, enjoy.
