Hamilton Place’s Studio Theatre is quickly becoming one of our favourite concert venues in Hamilton, and last night’s Sandro Perri show only reinforced that belief. The show started at a reasonable time, and for a bucks more than you’d pay at one of our city’s great club venues, the (seated & intimate) audience was treated […]

episode #243

End of summer keeps on rolling, and we visit some musical laboratories in Canada and abroad, and umm, probably across time. New is at least catchy, and a neat-o Diamond Rings remix of a track in time for Supercrawl (be there!). We’d play it next week, but we’re off for McMaster Welcome Week festivities. Then quick […]
