Ariel Pink at Time Festival at Fort York - Concert Pictures

Ariel Pink frightened me. I've seen a lot of bands over the years, and in so doing, I've seen a lot of musicians who were a little bit scary. But there was something about the way Ariel Pink paced the stage before their set that made me think that this was a man who could become unhinged at any moment.

Ariel Pink performed at this year's edition of Time Festival at Fort York in Toronto on August 15. This was my first time seeing the band and from what I've heard talking to people at the show, reading comments on-line since the show, and from experiencing the show myself, including the on-stage behaviour of Mr. Pink and the piercing feedback that punctuated the show, I guess it wasn't his best performance.

Check out some tunes:

"Put Your Number In My Phone"

"Picture Me Gone"

"Dayzed Inn Daydreams"

Time Festival announces 2015 line-up

Time Festival is back this year at Fort York on August 15, presented by Embrace, and they've just announced the line-up. It's a diverse festival with elements of dance music, jazz, indie/alternative and Die Antwoord, a spectacle all their own.

I caught Die Antwoord at Riot Fest and can attest to their live show being a great one to experience. I also caught DIIV opening for Japandroids at the end of 2012 so I can vouch for their live show.

The line up includes headliners Die Antwoord along with Mac Demarco, Badbadnotgood, Ariel Pink, Yung Lean, Ryan Hemsworth, DIIV, Alison Wonderland, Tory Lanez, Tommy Kruise, Lobby, and Eliot Vincent Jones.

Early bird tickets are on sale now for $25.
