Women Fully Clothed

PERFORMANCES

Women Fully Clothed: Older & Hotter (Friday): Mother’s Day is this Sunday and what better way to celebrate with Mom than bringing her out for a night on the town featuring these four funny ladies. The Toronto Star recently featured the fabulous foursome (Kathryn Greenwood, Robin Duke, Jayne Eastwood, and Teresa Pavlinek) while they lunched at the Windsor Arms Tea Room and just Monday morning they chatted with Seamus O’Regan on Canada AM about blackberries at funerals, border-crossing mishaps, and shopping at Costco. Visit their event page here and click on the video link to see an example of Women Fully Clothed, performing live.

a-ha (Monday): a-ha return to Massey Hall after an absence of almost 25 years as part of their “Ending on a High Note Farewell Tour”  (they last visited the Grand Old Lady on October 16, 1986.) Over on chromewaves, there’s a track available of New Pornographers’ A.C. Newman‘s take on a-ha’s Take On Me. It’s quite delightful – an innovative take on this classic piece of synthpop while still paying it the homage its due. CONTINUE READING >
