MUSIC: North X North East Fest: The Nils, The Hussy’s, The Sadies
Ladystache a hilariously odd yet sketch comedy troupe at The Lot 100. Walking in to the venue I was confronted with two girls on stage walking around trying to figure out what was stuck up one of their arse. i was intrigued to see what it was about so and before I knew it they had changed to a puppet skit. Behind closed chairs pop up to male puppets both as wonky looking as the other and we have some nice funky dance music to accompany what turned into a the one puppet performing oral sex on the other! it was right out of left felid but super funny! Speaking with the girls after the show they were very calm and very approachable. Allison Hogg and Steph Tolev(both 27)are from Collingwood and Toronto they met in college and started doing improve together . They originally were a group of 4 but 2 fell out and now they are the perfect two!
The Hussy’s
The next stop we made was at a Little bar/club on dundas w at Unlovable a very small but kinky bar where the band and customers mingle side by side. The Hussy’s came on and were very confronting, very loud lots of grit! Wow very powerful and unforgiving just the way they like to be. You can feel the passion inside them ,you can see it . At one point I thought the drummer woman was tired or messed up she was going so hard so fast for so long; but she got right back on it just like a jack hammer! loved it ! They make loud n shrill thunderstruck sound -definitely could fill a stadium with their sound-easy. I had to leave to catch my ears running away from me !
The Nils
I dropped in briefly to The Bovine to catch a glimpse of The Nils again a very raunchy loud true grit kinda rockin band. The singer Phil Gravedigge the guitar player WAS VERY NICE and approachable. their sound was very loud and semi fast very danceable. The Nils were formed back in the 80’s by Aalex Soria and brother Carlos, both from Montreal were name checked by bands like Meat Puppets, Super Chunk and Jawbox. They performed extensively in the 80’s releasing 2 ep’s and a single album before they broke up due to Alex’s passing in 2004 ; but did not stop them from reforming for their critically acclaimed album The Title is the Secret Song .
The Sadies
I stopped to see The Sadies at the Horseshoe a very welcomed band by this venue unfortunately never got to see them perform this time due to false information read. Although I did get to speak with a couple of the members in the back after their show. The drummer Mike Belitsky is from Boston originly but lives in Toronto, Andre Williams is from Chicago he is not a permanent member of the band, Travis Good plays Vocal, guitar and fiddle and Dallas Good is vocals and guitar lives in Peterborough but is originly from Richmond Hill., Sean Dean the bass player is also living in Toronto, all very grungy/swanky musicians. Always great dancing music! Mike played the drummer has played for about 30 yrs
Bass drum of Death
I loved this band saw them a great venue The Wrong Bar so loud and heavy very unapologetic damn rights! This band had 2 guitar players and no base player . John Barrett said he writes and composes most of the songs and he doesn’t like the bass . He used to just compose his own music alone and thump his base drum while playing the guitar .They are from Oxford, Mississippi. Colin is the wicked loud Drum player who doesn’t have ot think how he will lose excess water retention. They are touring through Australia in 2012.
Dearly Beloved
My last band to see walking into the Velvet Underground was Dearly Beloved fronted by a cute and raunchy woman Niva Chow tapping her feet and slapping her tamborine and what an awesome voice .they came together in 2006 formed by Robb Higgins a singer/song writer, producer, radio show host. He never had plans for to be a commercialized band.

The El Mocambo was ON FIRE when Jordan Klassen hit the Stage!! Literally. They had to evacuate right after the first song. The evacuation went smoothly, and our cities firefighters showed a great response time. It was only a little kitchen fire though, so they checked to make sure it was out and then hopped back into one of the 8 fire engines out front and drove away. The whole thing took less than an hour, but it was exciting to be there to see it, especially with it not being serious and no one getting hurt!

As the sun sets over Nathan Philip square there is a palpable feeling of excitement as people await the Legendary George Benson.The night begins with the opening act Tressa Levassuer who, accompanied by her seven piece band, opened with their song “Where Did I go”. A mixture of jazz-infused pop with a bit of soul, they got the crowd toe-tapping and set the beat for the evening. One of my personal favourites is a song she wrote for her 17-year- old daughter, which included a dialogue about “whatever happened to decency”, a banter between mother and daughter, which I’m sure many mothers could relate with.
When they finished their set, there was a buzz in the air. Amongst the swirl of purple and white lighting there was an excited energy as the crowd awaited the main act, legendary jazz performer and 10 time grammy award winning George Benson. Known for such hits as “Affirmation”, Mr. Benson and his band took the stage and the crowd began to cheer. Still going incredibly strong after over 30 years in the music industry, he opened with their hit song “breezin” and the air became thick with the infectious sound of jazz fusion. Alternating between guitar and vocals and just guitar, the set did not disappoint, and even included some classic scat style. The communication between the band and audience was felt and Mr. Benson said “All over the world this song resonated” before going into “Nothing’s Gonna Change My Love For You” in which the crowd enthusiastically applauded. A favourite included the 1950’s classic hit “Tequila”. A crowd pleaser which was turned in to a classic George Benson style of jazz, it included a guitar solo which was mesmerizing. As one of his last song’s of the night started, a solid disco beat began and the crowd was on its feet as the beat turned in to one of their biggest hits “Give Me The Night”.
This writer wasn’t brave enough to dance, but I was definitely dancing in my seat. It was obvious that George Benson and his 5 piece band were in to all the songs and that resonated with the audience. With the encouragement of the bassist Ron Carter even more people got to their feet and dancing ensued.
After “Give Me The Night” Mr. Benson left the stage but the rest of the band remained. A three set encore commenced with the classic “Since I Fell For You” and ended with an excellent cover of “On Broadway” with an amazing drum solo. Although my own personal favourite “This Masquerade” was not played it was of little consequence. It was a very memorable evening and George Benson has proved he is still relevant in an age of auto tune and simple pop melodies.
