VFest Toronto Day Two

Day two of the Virgin Festival started out a little shaky as a light but annoying rain threatened to keep up all day.

Ohbijou are going to spend the early part of the fall touring eastern Canada in support of their upcoming Metal Meets album.

Danko appeared on Nikki Sixxi's Studio Sixxness radio show back in January to talk about the animation,...
