Well, another weekend has come and gone. Let's see what happened in live music over the past few days.
This year's edition of Hamilton Supercrawl is going to be off the charts awesome
The Steel City's annual free music festival, Supercrawl, has become a pretty big deal over the last four years, but this year's edition will take things to a whole new level. The festival has been expanded to three days, and will be headlined by Spoon, who just played a set at North by Northeast on Saturday. It will also featured electronic music mad scientist Four Tet and post-R&B favourite How to Dress Well, Walkmen frontman Hamilton Leithauser and Broken Social Scene offshoot Eight and a Half. On top of all that, there will also be a show from critically acclaimed, Polaris long-listed hometown girl Jessy Lanza, as well as several of her label mates on British imprint Hyperdub. Supercrawl will run from September 12-14.
Dizzee Rascal waded into the crowd to break up a fight
Dizzee Rascal, who is still a pretty big deal in his homeland, waded into the crowd to break up a fistfight over the weekend, then asked security to let the combatants stay, saying "Don't kick them out, don't kick them out,... Just separate them. Peace and love and all that kind of shit. No one's got shot, no one's got stabbed."
Dizzee then reportedly made a jukebox work by slamming it with his fist. He's just that cool.
Run the Jewels announce four Canadian dates
Rap super duo Run the Jewels — the collective effort of El-P and Killer Mike — announced an August mini-tour today that will see them spending the month traversing the western half of the continent. The tour will include four Canadian dates, with the duo playing Victoria on August 11, then doing shows in Vancouver and Calgary before ending up in Edmonton on August 14. We just saw these guys at North by Northeast and they were amazing. Buy tickets now.
Here's The War on Drugs playing "Red Eyes" at Barcelona's Primavera Sound festival
Primavera Sound actually happened a couple weeks ago, but the video only went up over the weekend, so that's good enough for us.
