Who knew that a rainy November weekend could feel so ripe with spirit and promise? Here are some hot tips on how to celebrate life:
Friday Night (Nov 7):
The D’Urbervilles, Woodhands w/ P.S. I Love You @ The Grad Club

Slippery Rabbits, False Face @ The Artel
Possibly lonesome music in a packed room; the much anticipated debut of new Kingston band False Face. $5, door 8pm, bands start by 9pm — so afterwards you’ll have time to see BISON (Autonomous Social Centre, 75 Queen St.), who will explode the heart in your chest.
