Modified are a local rock/metal band that will easily draw comparisons to Evanescence with Tricia Stanley’s vocals and the hard sounds from the band. Their set included songs from their self-titled album including a cover of Kate Bush’s Running up that Hill that had the audience dancing to the vibe including our own John Dash. The mix of hard songs as well as the softer more melodic songs had fans of hard metal such as Metallica or Evanescence and 80s radio friendly rock going away happy from their set.

T-Mak World winners for Indie week
The patron of Indie week.
There were a lot of winners at this event (see Indie Week site for list of winners according to the organization), but a music festival just before the dull days of winter means anyone who attended was the clear winner. Indie week offers a great way to extend the summer music festival season.
Musically the highlights and mentions for “gig of the fest” for me at Indie week were TimeGiant rocking the house with 70’s style monster rock and Mad June with 70s style punk/rock mix. Both bands play homage to that decade but done in a modern cycle. It is always good to see bands inspired by that decade’s generation of music. There are far too few bands focused on this music that Canadians have excelled in. Rush, Triumph, Neil Young, Aldo Nova and so on and others have some company. With Roger Waters dominating the big circuit with 1979’s The Wall,and Rush touring the world with a new album that harkens back to 70’s it could these bands are a sign of things to come with a surge of 70s influenced music. Bring it on!!
In addition, Sex with Strangers who were the most surprising and eclectic band I saw at Indie Week and like many bands from the West coast put on a unique show. The Stanfields who continue the tradition of great east coast rock coming out of Halifax rounded the highlights showing the best of indie week comes from coast to coast with the most addictive song of indie week.
One wonders what one will find next. Continue to come back to T-Mak World to stay current with what’s new and refreshing on the Toronto music scene or better yet, come out to one of Toronto’s great local establishments and see for yourself!!
