The Spoons at Sunrise Records

80’s band the Spoons were rocking at Sunrise Records at 336 Yonge Street on the weekend with a free concert in the store. The band is listed by Wikipedia as a Canadian New Wave Romantic Synth Pop Music group started in 1979. I think that they were eating in a KFC store in the late 70’s and decided to form a group named the Sporks but after careful consideration and sober second thought they decided to go with the more straight forward name, the Spoons.

Gord Deppe

Sandy Horne

They had a number of hit songs including Romantic Traffic, Old Emotions and Tell No Lies. Vocalist and bassist Sandy Horne and lead vocalist Gord Deppe were joined by Casey MQ on keyboards and Chris McNeill on Drums.

There were joined by Lemon Bucket Orkestra during the event, including this guy with heart sunglasses and a squeeze box.

V is for INXS

Canadian singer J.D. Fortune rejoins rock group INXS as they begin the Original Sin tour starting in Toronto on March 2, 2011. In the illustration above J.D. (right) is joined by sax-guitarist Kirk Bengilly who I think looks remarkably like the V is for Vendetta guy. It looks like he is ready to protest right now so I added his hat.

From Facebook "Toronto! INXS will be playing a show in Toronto at the Sound Academy on March 2, 2011. It’s their first show in Canada in over three years! INXS and JD Fortune will be playing songs from the new album ‘Original Sin’. Pre-sale tickets are available now and you better hurry because this is an event you do not want to miss!

Much Music: New Music Live

0 comments Posted by Car at 5:44 PM

My daughter, Erin Hamilton, went to Much Music for the Feb 16, 2011 edition of New Music Live where she watched the punk rocker band Cancer Bats (pictured above) perform.

Erin also saw Ben Mulroney and later the American Civic Rights leader Reverend Jesse Jackson Sr. walking through the control room (pictured above, walking away on the right side of the photo). The Reverend was in Canada as part of We Day celebrations in Kitchener. These are all Erin's pictures, seen below in stripes.
