Festival of Friends Ancaster Fairgrounds 630 Trinity Road Bonjour mes amis! So we figured, since we’re a group of friends touring around the city and making friends along the way, what better way to celebrate friendship than attending the annual Festival of Friends! Normally held in Gage Park, this was the first time … Read more
Boxcar Sound Recording Studio 468 Cumberland Avenue Since we’re on tour, and sometimes fancy ourselves to be rock stars, it seems only fitting that we should visit a recording studio. Avishka and I were thrilled to get the opportunity to drop into Boxcar Sound Recording Studio to get a tour by co-owner and producer Matt … Read more

Il Fiasco Cafe and Wine Bar 182 Locke Street South The word “fiasco” is really just something fun to read, hear and say. It seems like one of those words that, just by saying it, a day can go from glum to cheery in an instant. Unfortunately, however, our idea of the word was … Read more

Let’s see how I do, shall we?) offers … Read more
