NXNE is the greatest rock’n’roll challenge of the year. Musicians and music-fans alike must navigate the city like pirates in the sea, succumbing to the temptations of libations in some of the finest and grittiest establishments in Toronto. Everywhere you go there’s something to do and someone to see – films, bbq’s, workshops and, most importantly, music. This was a good year…a really good year! Highlights included Cults, Rusty, Crocodiles, Tiny Victories, Handsome Furs and Dum Dum Girls. With such great talent, not to mention the Polaris long list being announced midway through, the biggest challenge was simply deciding who to see. Here’s who caught our eye.
