See the Hypnotic Brass Ensemble @ Opera House, Friday

James Blake, Hypnotic Brass, Marissa Nadler, Cass McCombs returning to T.O.

Along with a number of exciting summer concert announcements this week for James Blake (yes, the  post-dubstep Brit hotshot is already coming back to Toronto for a Phoenix gig in September), the Hypnotic Brass Ensemble, Jolie Holland, Marissa Nadler, Cass McCombs, there were a few tentatively scheduled shows we thought you should know about. When it comes to quick sellout events like say for example Peter Bjorn and John doing a two-night stand at a relatively intimate venue like Lee's Palace, you want to find out when those shows are happening before tickets go on sale. Read all about it in The Perlich Post's Early Warning listings.
