Also below is what NXNE recommends – these selections have not been researched by the staff at T-Mak World so we have no say on whether our readers will enjoy them or not. We present them to see what might be considered hot in other circles.
NXNE MUSIC
Milk Music 11pm The Shop at Parts & Labour (1566 Queen Street West)

Tommy Brunett 11pm Dakota Tavern (249 Ossington Avenue)
Tommy Brunett performs with Andy Kim. Rock n’ roll tangled with country, with references to the old-school troubadours of Johnny Cash, Tom Waits, and Hank Williams and the more sedated punk edge of Social Distortion.
BABYSITTER 12am The Detour Bar (193 ½ Baldwin Street)
Prolific garage punk band with over 15 releases since their formation in 2010. These west coast rock and roll revolutionaries have a uniquely skewed take on anthemic grunge, recalling Archers of Loaf, Pavement, and even Neil Young.
