Katy Perry Can Actually Sing

in
By Stephanie Joudrey (CHARTattack) July 27, 2009 3:38 pm
It may have been pouring buckets of rain earlier in the day, but that didn't stop people from every walk of life congregating at Ontario Place for one of the last shows Katy Perry will play before her tour ends and she heads back into the studio.

in
By Erik Leijon (CHARTattack) June 23, 2009 2:28 pm

It's six attractive young men singing poppy songs about love and society like an edgier Simple Plan with synths. "Looks Minus Substance" is...

For a band nearing the end of a month-and-a-half long tour, Edmonton's Ten Second Epic haven't lost their trademark onstage energy.

Black Eyed Peas and New Kids On The Block will headline the June 19 and 20 festival at Parc Jean-Drapeau. The lineup will also feature...
