The Harpoonist and the Axe Murderer at the Legendary Horseshoe Tavern Nov 13th, 2014

Toronto’s legendary Horseshoe Tavern played host to the Harpoonist and the Axe Murderer along with openers The Key Frames and The Fugitives on Novemebr 13th, 2014. I showed up early to catch all three bands. Some pretty cool stuff.

Local roots-rockers The Key Frames started the night off with a mix of roots, folk, bluegrass, rockabilly et al.
