The Story...to come soon.... Dianna Guglietti's Photos & Story
NIN! NIN! I have never seen this band live. As much as I love their music, the opportunity never arose. When I heard that they were coming to the Molson Amphitheatre I was more than ecstatic. I was disappointed that they appeared on the stage at 7:30pm, my friend and I nearly missed them. They were amazing. It was nice to hear Trent's rough voice and the heavy musical melodies that accompanied him. What made the experience more wonderful, was hearing everyone sing along to a few of their songs especialy HURT. I had chills...

Thank you! CANADIAN MUSIC WEEK 2008 - 8TH ANNUAL INDIE AWARDS ___________________________________________________________________________ MEG-A MUSIC TORONTO has been created by Mary-Elizabeth Gilbert, someone who LOVES music, film, entertainment and all things artistic and imaginative. Just after joining MySpace at the beginning
of 2006 to support the band of a friend of mine, I discovered a
whole new world of music I never knew about and fell in love with
so many bands and people in such a short time. There is so much
talent out here that you never hear about, in particular Indie Bands.
I have heard so many new and existing artists that I love and discover
more each day. I am truly amazed with the music being showcased
on MySpace. I have now started a MySpace site called
MEG-A
ENTERTAINMENT CANADA which will be incorporated into this site
until a website is put up specifically for this at a later date.
