Had to scramble from Dundas Square over to what would be my favourite NXNE show at a very hot packed Horseshoe Tavern. Greeted by a lady that identified that they would be handing out free drink tickets during the show and had a free barbecue going on just outside the door but alas no free drink ticket for me in the end. Bought a bottle of water at a criminal price of $2.75 not including tip and located midway into the Tavern. I really hadn't heard alot of Hooded Fang before this show but did have their self-titled full length and love their track Highway Steam. What a great band. Young, energetic, and lots of band members having fun and dancing away. All sorts of instruments too. Unfortunately a short set but alas this is NXNE. Congrats to Hooded Fang for winning IKDK's award for best concert of NXNE. Here's what Toronto said:

@mikaeljagan: Whoever's on drums for Hooded Fang tonight is spectacular. But they should definitely avoid brass instruments from now on. Forever #R3NXNE (IKDK: What? Blasphemy)
@MWBII: Hooded Fang: so much band, so little stage. #R3NXNE
