So I spent all day thinking about which band is worthy enough to be featured in our/my first music post. I finally came to a decision at about 5:25 today when I was reading TOnight, Toronto's only free evening newspaper, on the TTC. Since I love this city, I figured I should be supporting one of our up and coming bands. I came across this band a few months ago and they are already starting to get more popular. This band's first album is out today, they are playing a show at the Mod Club tonight, and they are going to be on MTV Live tomorrow. They are... Sweet Thing! (pretty lame name though, not gonna lie)
Here's a little bio about the band, taken from their myspace;
"Meet Sweet Thing, a five-piece Toronto band that play infectious pop tunes. Sometimes they get pretty rocking, in that dramatic way that feels best when you clench your first and raise it to the sky. Charged with dueling guitars, Fleetwood Mac-y harmonies, and energy up the wazoo, Sweet Thing are the musical equivalent of drinking a milkshake at a 50s diner where the waiter keeps jumping on the table (and you like it). Let's call it 'music to dance like a dork to'."
Man, that last line couldn't be more true. Check out their first single at the link below and don't be afraid to dance like a motherf*cker;

Trust, this song is going to be on the Muchmusic countdown in a few months time (maybe sooner...). Have a listen to their cd and if you become a big enough fan, go to their show at the London Music Hall on September 24. It'll be like 10 bucks. They already played in London at Call the Office earlier this year too. Pretty cool.
I totally wouldve have dragged Jamie out to their cd release party tonight if I didn't have tennis, but we should be saving our money anyway so it's a probably good/sweet thing. Happy listening!
