I've made no illusions about my love for the music of west-coast power pop supergroup The New Pornographers, so it shouldn't be a surprise that I trekked up to Lee's Palace to see their TURF club show.

It was their first time playing two gigs in one day and they did a great job of it, playing their amazingly well crafted tunes with energy and enthusiasm.

It was a fantastic show and a wonderful way to end off TURF 2016. Now I just can't wait for next year.

Here are some of my favourite tunes from their club show setlist:

"Dancehall Domine"


"Moves"

"Sing Me Spanish Techno"

"The Laws Have Changed"

"The Slow Descent Into Alcoholism"


"Use It"


"Mass Romantic"

"The Bleeding Heart Show"

"Brill Bruisers"


"Twin Cinema"

"Challengers"

Death Cab for Cutie had the honour of closing out the main stage at TURF on Sunday night. They always do a great job of filling the big stage with melody and excitement. They have a vast catalog of perfectly crafted indie pop gems that I just love. Hearing the old classics up against their recent tunes makes for a wonderful show. "Transatlaticism" as the closing tune of the encore, and indeed, the closing tune of TURF at Fort York, was perfection.

Roy Cohen captured these images of the band.

Here are my favourite tunes from their hit-filled setlist:

"I Will Possess Your Heart"

"The New Year"

"Crooked Teeth"

"The Ghosts of Beverly Drive"

"Black Sun"

"Title and Registration"

"I Will Follow You Into the Dark"

"You Are a Tourist"

"Cath..."

"Soul Meets Body"

"Marching Bands of Manhattan"

"Transatlanticism"

Much loved Etobicoke indie rock band Rheostatics played for a passionate crowd at the Battle of York stage at TURF. They regaled the audience with their unique hits and musicianship.

Listen to the Rheostatics song that you're most likely familiar with, "Claire"
