The QEW is awesome. OK, driving on it can sometimes be (OK, always) a pain the ass and laughably frustrating, but boy, is it fantastic. It's a vital artery that connects Buffalo to Canada and to Toronto in particular, and in my opinion we are lucky to be at the end of it because in addition to Labatt's and shoppers, the QEW occasionally brings us great music. Case in point: the Arkells show tonight at the Town Ballroom. The pride of Hamilton, Arkells have been steadily building an audience on our side of the Peace Bridge with their populist power indie pop, and this headlining show in support of their second full length album Michigan Left ought to be a scorcher. You can stream Michigan Left right here, right now, and believe me, it's worth your time (solid power pop from start to finish, no filler):
Opening for Arkells is Hollerado and Wildlife. I know nothing about Hollerado, but Wildlife is certified buffaBLOG approved and their return is both welcome and hotly anticipated. Here's why:
Tickets for this all Canadian triple threat are $18, and doors open at 7. See you there.
