The links to the festival and lineup reveal that it's got something on NXNE, if you count quality over quantity. Heads up, westerners.

While they're not my usual thing, I quite enjoyed them, particularly the back end of the set with the additional crew on board. And I had no issue with song choices as it was all new to me. On top of it, the vibe in the room was very infectious and impossible to resist (and the CBC hoopla didn't hurt either). I stuck around for some of DD/MM/YY's set before moving on and thought they sounded great, not to mention being Woodpigeon's polar opposite. It seemed the presence of the radio gang served to keep both organization and sound quality at the 'Shoe at optimum levels.

Toronto and Baltimore aren't too far apart. The acts playing Virgin free fest could play v fest on the first day. Toronto and Baltimore aren’t too far apart.
