It was the time I was very excited to see at the Drake Hotel Underground during NXNE 2013 on June 14th.
Dan Deacon was the secret guest!
Considering I heard that he played a wild set the before at the Horseshoe Tavern.
Which is why I decided to head over to the venue and see his set.
Boy was I in for a wild time.
It was a wild fun dance party.

When I heard that Dan Deacon was the secret guest at the Drake Hotel Underground.
I bolted (more like cab) to the venue with a new friend named Frank who works with Consequence of Sound.
Before I got all excited for Dan Deacon, I had to see to see two acts before him.
The first act was Baltimore’s Peals.
They had a unique set-up since it was on the floor and on the right side of the room.

Went to the Silver Doom Room for Pop Montreal’s NXNE showcase.
I only caught the first band that played.
It was AroarA.
I heard some good things about this act because one of the members is Andrew Whiteman of Broken Social Scene.
I almost got starstruck just because!!
The female singer is Ariel Engle who is part of AroarA.

Kind of took a break from the Arbutus Record’s showcase at The Comfort Zone.
So I was curious about the three night show that Mikal Cronin had at the Silver Dollar Room.
This was the first night of the three night residency show.
I only caught about two song during the set.
It was very crowded so I couldn’t get any good shots upclose of this set.

Later in the day.
After leaving the Dine Alone Record’s BBQ.
Decided to hit up the free show taking place at St. James Park which is on the corner of Jarvis and King.
The Balconies was playing a show under the gazebo.
Mother nature did not cooperate because it started to rain.
Anyways alot of people braved the rain to see the band perform live.
They played a mix of new songs and of course favourites like Kill Count and The Slo.
First time seeing the band as a four-piece.
