The first day of the last Kazoo! Fest is (finally) here!

Normally we would scatter festival highlights throughout the festival, but our Thursday night alone might just have enough highlights for the next 15 years.

Take Shn Shn, for example. Her unique blend of spacious, atmospheric ambient electronic pop is the perfect festival kick-off at Royal City Mission at 7:00pm. Then, L Roe ft. Truth Is… will present what is sure to be an inspiring dance and spoken word performance followed by a full band performance from one of the finest acts this city has ever produced, Cots.

Cots, in a church, with some of the best players in Ontario. Pure bliss.

Over at Onyx, we have a very special performance from the reunited Ten Boy Summer who will open up what is sure to be one of the raddest bills of the festival. Mother Tongues, Toronto’s best kept secret, will follow packing their blend of psych, garage and pop, and you may just find yourself with a new favourite band. But before you hand Mother Tongues that title, close out the night with Toronto’s Ducks Ltd. They were a top pick for the programming crew and we can’t wait for you to see why.

Actually, it’s ok, you can have three new favourite bands.

Tonight will be good and nice and, since this will be the last Kazoo! Fest opening night, we really hope you can join us. Let’s take care of each other, have a nice time and kick this one off right.
