You can read more about why I'm doing listings here. Long story short: This curated and decidedly non-comprehensive list contains nothin' but shows that I am going to/would go to if I had more time.
Gig of the week:
Castle If [Sector 03 album release!] (Scott Hardware) / The Music Gallery @ 918 Bathurst 2018-08-25 (Saturday) [FB event]
It will be a thrill to see Jess Forrest make her return to The Music Gallery — though things have changed a bunch in less than a year and a half since her previous MG performance. Now settled in and ready to launch their second season at 918 Bathurst, expect further developments (and new chairs!) from the Music Gallery as they continue to discover how to fully occupy their new space. And meanwhile, Forrest has gone from an "Emergent" to celebrating the long-awaited release of her sci-fi concept album Sector 03. It's also a slightly bittersweet occasion as Forrest has indicated that after this she'll be stepping back from live performance for the foreseeable future, so that makes this an even more essential show.
