Toronto Wednesday Madness - And Also Sharks - Acrylics - Cult Of Youth - Beach Fossils - Craft Spells

Mid week and IKVSDK probably shouldn`t even be going out with work being so hectic. How to pick. Three great concerts and 1 book release. I need a tardis to get to all four. Here`s what is happening:

1. Book launch for Jessica Westhead's 'And Also Sharks'at Toronto Underground Cinema (186 Spadina Ave) with Dj Tricky Ricky of Panicmanual Fame spinning the tunes on his futuristic turntables.

2. Cult of Youth opening for Zola Jesus at the Garrision (1197 Dundas St W). Probably my pic of the night with Cult of Youth channeling the spirit of the late eighties alternative music scene.

3. Captured Tracks bring us an amazing double bill of Beach Fossils and Craft Spells in the Shop at Parts And Labour (1566 Queen Street West). Two great bands with that droning indie beach surf sound.

4. The Acrylics opening for Junip at Lee`s Palace (Bloor and Bathurst). Nice dark fluttered indiepop from this up and coming band and the friendliest venue for easy TTC escape at the end of the night.

Wednesday night is a no cocooning zone  so check out a sample of what the night has to offer below and tell IKVSDK where you`d want to go:
