Sun, 24 Feb 2008 14:45:43 +0000

It’s no mystery that when musicians and bands find themselves gigging in Toronto on the same day or weekend, they often find time to share a few cocktails or crash an impromptu party.

This might be one of the most random line ups in Toronto…especially for a Monday. How’s this for a mix of artists in the city? Put the following folk in the same room…sit back and observe.

Crystal Castles, Pilot Priest, Mikey Apples @ Wrongbar
George Clinton & Parliament – Funkadelic @ Phoenix, $42.50
Spice Girls @ Air Canada Centre $69.50-$119.50
James Blunt, Sara Bereilles @ Sony (Hummingbird) Centre, $32.15-$50.15
Jane Birkin @ The Music Hall, 8 pm, $47-$57
