Mystery surrounds a new music festival in Toronto set for four nights on the evenings between July 4th to July 7th. All we know is that it will be called the Toronto Urban Roots Festival, it will take place at Fort York and two bands (so far) will be playing. Today the festival finally got a website, and including the previously announced She & Him and Camera Obscura, the festival promises 30 acts in total. Very curious about who else will be added to the line up.
Camera Obscura- Forest & Sands
Awesome news of the day!!! Bobs Burgers is one of my favourite TV shows and it was revealed today that both St. Vincent and Stephen Merritt will make appearances on the cartoon comedy. Watch St. Vincent play a cover of "Bad Girl" from an upcoming episode.
