Yonge-Dundas Square (YDS) transforms into Toronto’s biggest indie venue when Virgin Mobile presents Indie Fridays takes place every Friday night from 8-10pm until September 5, 2014.
Throughout this month, the fun continues at YDS. This Friday, August 8, Sam Cash and his band The Romantic Dogs will wow crowds. He and the band recorded his latest songs over a few days at Dale Morningstar’s Gas Station Studio on Toronto Island. Sounds like
On August 15, from Victoria, British Columbia, Current Swell, will bring their roots rock sound to Toronto. The band has some of the most dedicated fans in the music industry, which makes it no surprise that they sold-out headlining tours in Brazil and Europe and are a force to be reckoned with.
On August 22, Young Galaxy will fill YDS with their sounds of an indie rock and dream pop duality. Originally a twosome from Vancouver, the band has grown in members as well as in sound, having been compared to the likes of Pink Floyd and Spiritualized.
On August 29, take in the hard-hitting rock-and-roll experience of Bella Clava. They are reminiscent of 90s alternative rock while channelling the energy of their heavy classic rock forebears.
On September 5, daughter of 54-40 frontman, Neil Osborne, Kandle will show Toronto what she is made of.
Taking the stage after Kandle and closing out the Indie Fridays series will be Pop Artists/Group or Duo of the Year winners at this year’s Indie Awards, Fast Romantics, whose music has been featured in TV shows and films including Shameless, Breaking In, Vampire Diaries, and Pretty Little Liars.
With the variety of musical talent coming to YDS, there is no reason to stay indoors on Friday nights. And if music is not enough to draw you in, for your pleasure, The Beer Garden, provided by the Hard Rock Cafe will be open every Friday of the series from 4pm-11pm. There is also free WIFI for Virgin Mobile Canada members. Select WIFI@YDS and enter your Virgin Mobile Canada phone number to hop online. Not a bad bonus, if I may add.
Admission is FREE to all these events at Yonge-Dundas Square presented by Virgin Mobile. For more details and a full schedule of events, please visit YDSquare.ca.
