A month after the Toronto concert announcement, Metric announced their upcoming new album, Formentera, along with a string of live dates to promote the latest release. “All Comes Crashing” and a lengthy 10-minute lead track “Doomscroller” were released before the new album’s July debut.

Duran Duran and Nile Rodgers & Chic Narrowly Avoid a Cancelled Show at Budweiser Stage [Photos]
“Save A Prayer” took on a relevant meaning on Monday night as heavy rainfall, lightning, and thunderclaps closed the venue gates and pushed fans back to their cars for an hour to see if Toronto’s Duran Duran performance would go on as planned.

John 5 (w/ Sticks N’ Stones) Shreds for Toronto Sinners at the Phoenix Concert Theatre [Photos]
I think of John 5 more and more amongst the list of living greats; he can play almost any song in any style. He has a killer sweeping style to his playing that seems to get better and better every year that goes by. He did an incredible cover of Queen’s Crazy Little Thing Called…
The Beaches (w/ The Blue Stones) Get Groovy at Guelph Concert Theatre [Photos]
It struck me that this evening was the first time I’d seen the band truly headline a venue. I have seen them at festivals, as an opener for other bands, and at industry events, but I’d never seen them roll out a 22-song performance that touched on so much of their material in one shot…

Photographed on the first night of two sold out shows in a row at Molson Canadian Amphitheatre, Canada’s very own Dallas Green continues to be a musical force to be reconed with. I like this photo of him. cityandcolour.com twitter.com/cityandcolour http://www.facebook.com/cityandcolour
Gary Numan band portrait – Opera House Toronto, May 24th, 2016
