North By Northeast // Day One

Don't take this as some sort of commitment to covering the festival in its entirely, but I do promise I will post a handful of videos captured at this year's North By Northeast music festival in Toronto.

Last night I unexpectedly spent most of the evening at the Tracks on Tracks showcase held at the Gladstone. The event specifically focused on Canadian bands from the West. All of them had travelled to the show as part of a cross-country tour on a VIA Rail train. While in transit they performed for passengers, and then the grand finale was this evening.

While I didn't stick around for the entire night, I can tell you that both the Matinee and Maurice were entertaining alternative rock performers, while I hear that the Topless Gay Love Tekno Party got the glitter flowing -- literally -- all over the floor.

I managed to capture one performance (I lost the others due to technical difficulties) from solo singer Adaline, whose songs have been featured on Grey's Anatomy. I really dig Rebels of Love, which is her new single.
