MUSIC I Meligrove Band - Record Release Show for Shimmering Lights
Meligrove band, a four-piece indie rock band based out of our very own Toronto, will be celebrating the release of their latest full-length, Shimmering Lights tonight at The Great Hall. Their sound is big, with catchy hooks and burly guitars. These lads have been making rock music together for over a decade and if that isn't enough to give them the street cred they deserve, they are set to embark on their biggest tour yet. They'll do the North American circuit, hop the pond to take Europe by storm and finish with a little homegrown love.
The Great Hall (1087 Queen Street West) 8pm $10 advance, $12 at the door

BOOKS I Grant Lawrence's Adventure in Solitude Book Launch Party
One of the CBC's most adored personalities, Grant Lawrence, spent a significant period of time in Desolation Sound, part of the wild West Coast of British Columbia. Not only did he survive to tell the tale, he wrote a book to share his adventures with his friends, fans and all of us less courageous folk. Tonight he shares his stories firsthand, with a little reading and conversation at The Drake Underground. Leave it up to this CBC Radio 3 podcaster to include some above average musical talent at his book launch. Brother-sister duo Matthew Barber and Jill Barber will be performing.

MUSIC I DJ Shadow - Live from the Shadowsphere @ The Phoenix
A treat for your ears and your eyes, DJ Shadow's most buzzed about tour, Live from the Shadowsphere is overtaking The Phoenix Concert Hall tonight. This producer slash DJ slash songwriter will be transforming one of Toronto's iconic stages into a 3D light show extraordinaire, something that would most likely be a standard fixture in outer space.
