The 6ixty 8ights - The El Mocambo

Toronto is experiencing a mini-renaissance of 60's-meets-Britpop rock thrills. OK. Maybe I'm just biased. Enter the 6ixty8ights. Dynamic uptempo riffs, sunny harmonies, solid key-laced pop, a sprawling Beatle-esque sweetness. Stuff like this is like peering into the archway of yesterday, and infusing it with something more contemporary. Peace, love, and dammit, some of the catchiest UK inspired music in the city.
