-Saturday night was one for books. The prolific purveyors of gothic rock, Smashing Pumpkins, lit up Pittsburgh on their “Shiny and Oh So Bright” reunion tour across North America.

LIVE REVIEW + GALLERY: CHROMEO (DANFORTH MUSIC HALL / TORONTO, ON)
-The Montreal funkadelic duo, Chromeo, played an absolutely stunning show at their first of back-to-back sold out nights at the Danforth in Toronto.
