TURF 2015: Day 3 Compendium - Concert Pictures

The end of The Toronto Urban Roots Festival always brings mixed emotions. There's the exhaustion that comes from shooting over thirty bands in just a few days, the looming task of going through thousands of pictures to find the right ones to post and the elation of having seen some incredible bands in a fantastic, downtown Toronto setting, at an amazingly well-run festival with a wonderful vibe.

The third day of TURF's outdoor festival presented a great line-up of artists and was rain-free, too. Here are links to each of my posts on the bands of TURF day 3. Enjoy!

The Pixies

Neko Case

Heartless Bastards

Black Rebel Motorcycle Club

Punch Brothers

Hop Along

SATE

Ron Hawkins and the Do Good Assassins

And in case you missed them, don't forget to go back and experience Day 1, including the Club Bonus Series and Preview Series, and Day 2 through my camera's eye.

TURF 2015 Day 3: The Pixies on the East Stage - Concert Pictures

On the third day of The Toronto Urban Roots Festival, there's only one late-night headliner, so everyone gathered at the large East Stage to wish death to The Pixies, even after the last act had wrapped things up on the South Stage. The Pixies are yet another band that I'd never seen live before, so I was looking forward to hearing some of my favourite tunes in the glory of a late summer's night.

The band hit the stage with the cacophony and bombast that I expected, playing so many of the crowd's favourite tunes. It was an energizing and satisfying end to a fantastic festival weekend. I can't wait to spend another late-September weekend with TURF again next year.

Enjoy some tunes from their setlist:

"Gouge Away"

"Monkey Gone To Heaven"

"Wave of Mutilation"

"Indie Cindy"
