Toronto – Starting on Wednesday, local concert series Wavelength‘s will be celebrating their 10th year in existence (and 500th show) with a bang. There will be five shows spanning five nights featuring a ton of good local indie talents. In the past decade, this concert series has played host to a ton of local bands, including BSS, Constantines and probably 90% of the roster on CBC Radio 3. It’s a concert series I’ve only recently gotten into, and kinda think that I should have gone more in the past. This series of shows will also mark the end of the weekly series, but fear not, they are going to a monthly format instead.

Here is the lineup
