The Alpacas Barrie: http://twimfest.com/artists/the-alpacas/ at 8 PM:

Kicking off four nights of epic music at Rancho Relaxo are The Alpacas! Recently played a Thursday Thursday with Antony and the GreenShades boys to rave reviews. Check out their debut EP on bandcamp and suck it up and get out early to start your fest off right!

Tiger Bloom Toronto: http://twimfest.com/artists/tiger-bloom/ at 9 PM:

One of the best sounding newer bands TWM/iM have stumbled upon in sometime. Come out and get your surf-rock/indie-pop groove on and dance with Tiger Bloom. Head over to their bandcamp to get in the mood.

Frankie & Jimmy Hamilton: http://twimfest.com/artists/frankie-jimmy/ at 10 PM:

After several successful shows with Frankie & Jimmy and becoming a big fan from away I Dan finally get to see them for myself. The boys play what they called electric-slide blues and this will be their first Toronto show with their brand spankin' new vinyl. Come out and grab one and stick around for the BA Johnston craziness to follow.

B.A. Johnston Hamilton: http://twimfest.com/artists/b-a-johnston/ at 11 PM:

In a world of music where so many people are doing something similar to someone else B.A. Johnston stands alone. Constantly touring and growing his cult following of fans B.A. Johnston returns to the Ranch for the first time in years! We could not be more thrilled to have him anchor this amazing night of music. Come out and get greasy with us!

Convoys Toronto: http://twimfest.com/artists/convoys/ at 12 AM:

Following up B.A. Johnston is a tough task but if anybody can do it will be the boys from Convoys who have one of the best live shows in the city. Also been sometime since Convoys ripped a set at the Ranch. Worth going into work ragged for without a doubt.

The Back 40 Toronto: http://twimfest.com/artists/the-back-40/ at 1 AM:

Saxophone infused groovin' heavy indie rock outfit The Back 40 are one of the best keeps secrets and most wildly unique bands in Toronto. We love them and think you will too. Test us!

The Do Good Badlies Lindsay: http://twimfest.com/artists/the-do-good-badlies/ at 2 AM:

It takes a special breed to take a late night Thursday night slot and make it their own. The Do Good Badlies specialize in this type of behavior. Most likely one of their last Toronto shows before they release their long awaited new record.
