Community notes:
- Pleased to see the formal announcement from The Tranzac that Jason Doell is taking over as the new Executive Director. It bodes well that the position is being carried forward with someone who has a genuine passion for the space and the sort of cultural engagement that The Tranzac allows/encourages.
- Word on the street is that The Concert Hall (a.k.a. The Masonic Temple) is back in business as a working concert venue. Because of the timing of its openings/closings it hasn't played a part in my show-going history and it's at the larger end of what I'd consider an interesting place to go to, but it's always a good thing to have more places for shows to happen. Looks like Collective Concerts is booking there, with a half-dozen shows listed already.
- I picked up that nugget from Airplane on the Highway, Michael Barclay's substack newsletter. For those who don't know, Barclay is a tireless documenter of independent Canadian music (and co-author of the utterly indispensable Have Not Been the Same, an essential source for a decade of pre-internet music history) and his weekly-ish dispatches have thoughtful music recommendations and very solid concert listings that hew further into "rock" shows that I might not be listing as much these days.
