Weekly Poll: Kingston’s Indie Rock Band

During my teenage years, I unfortunately had very limited exposure to the local indie music scene. Whether it was simply in short supply in small town Ontario, or lingered in the shadows of what was being sold on radio and music video stations, my introduction to homegrown, emerging acts was somewhat delayed. After living [...]

Guide to the Skeleton Park Music Festival

The Skeleton Park Music Festival officially kicks off tomorrow night, with three consecutive evenings of fantastic entertainment prior to the main event this Saturday in McBurney Park.  Due to the popularity of last year’s festival guide received, we thought that it would be beneficial to outline SKMP 2010, specifically the schedule, venues and musicians.  [...]

Final Fantasy in Kingston

Owen Pallett, aka Final Fantasy, plays with himself in front of hundreds of people.  By this I mean, he electronically loops the sound of his own violin, keyboard and voice and then plays along with it.   He was in Kingston last night and played to a nearly sold-out audience at Sydenham Street United Church.  [...]

From one marathon to another.  I haven’t had an entire weekend off since early September, so I am truly looking forward to the next few days as I will be far away from the shackles of my office. That said, this long weekend comes at a price, as we’ll likely be running the [...]

Apple Crisp Mixtape #4

After the 4th Apple Crisp mixtape made it onto my playlist last week, I soon realised I needed to spread the word.  This fantastic offering spans the indie spectrum, with tracks contributed by performers located all over the place.  Although the double-sided mixtape and accompanying zine are available for purchase at future Apple Crisp [...]

Which Island Music Festival?

Save for the Skeleton Park Music Festival and Tomfest, Kingston does not have much in the way of outdoor music spectacles over the summer months. Thankfully, there are two outstanding festivals happening on the fringe of the Limestone City.  While both events feature a mix of local and out of town acts, make no [...]

The Skeleton Park Music Festival officially kicks off this evening, with a few nights of entertainment prior to the main event this Saturday in McBurney (aka Skeleton) Park. While my attention is primarily focused on this Saturday’s outdoor festival, I thought it would be beneficial to produce a helpful festival guide, linking maps to [...]

A Weekend to Remember

So the Olympics have officially started, and in case you aren’t down with watching the Opening Ceremonies, there’s a lot to do this weekend. Although last weekend was rather uneventful, Kingston is playing host to two crowd pleasing events.
Friday, August 8th
The rather large number of Hummer’s and oversized trailers around the city this weekend [...]
