Distractions, reflections

David Ing, at large … Sometimes, my mind wanders



2007/01/03 Worst Pop Band Ever, The Rex 0

Posted on January 03, 2007 by daviding

The name of the band — Worst Pop Band Ever — is intriguing, and the venue was The Rex, which has become a hub for jazz in Toronto. It’s easy enough to surf over to their web page on Myspace, and give the band a listen. Apostolos also listened to their music, and we agreed to meet for the 6:30 p.m. show.

The reason for the funny name is that, although the band plays pop-style tunes, they’re clearly jazz musicians. When they play Bjork’s “Army of Me”, you can recognize it, but they’re headed a different direction. I like the mix.

Toronto has a good music scence … if I’m in town to see it!

I called Andy, and asked if he wanted to go to The Rex to see Tara Davidson (an upcoming sax player) at her CD release performance. She was playing with Mike Murley (veteran sax player) and David Braid (keyboards).
