March Break finale

Whether you are off next week or your kids or people you know are, a great way to end this annual fun-fest is to stop in at the Duchess of Markham on Saturday March 20th for some live music from By Coincidence, great food and a cold brew.

Don't let the size of the main floor fool you - it may seem too small for a party, but that is certainly not true! it is common for tables to get moved and dancing to ignite from start to finish. It's always an intimate and interactive performance at the Duchess - so come on out if you can!

Happy Holidays!

Our last gig of the year is this coming Saturday, December 19, at The Franklin Pourhouse in Streetsville, ON. We haven't played there before so we're really looking forward to it, it should be a great time - looks like a really nice venue. If you can make it out, we'd love to see you!

May the wonder and spirit in the air put a song in your heart and carry you through the new year. Thanks to you all for your support in 2009 - and we really look forward to seeing more of you in 2010!

All the best to each one of you throughout this beautiful season. See you soon!

Thanks to you...

As this year is coming to an end (can you believe it?) we thought this was an opportune time to extend our most sincere gratitude for all the support you have shown the band throughout 2009. We’ve had busy year and are starting to plan next year’s events – we’re looking forward to seeing you all again soon, and most definitely throughout 2010!

Here’s wishing you health and happiness – may your hearts be warm throughout the holiday season and into 2010.

City Mix 2009: A celebration of all people

And a celebration it was! This past weekend we participated in the second annual "City Mix" , hosted by Community Living Toronto and sponsored by TD Bank Financial.

City Mix is a unique inclusive celebration focused on social inclusion for people of all abilities and featured information booths from various community organizations, food vendors, performers (including Lucas Hunter and Culture Shock) and commenced at 5pm on Friday Aug 21 and went into the warm starry night; ending at 10pm just after our performance.

We were honoured to be a part of such a great celebration at Nathan Phillips Square and want to thank everyone involved in the planning and prep (Karolina, Lance, Wayne and the whole CL & City of Toronto crew - you rock!) along with the organizations that came together to produce this great event: Alliance for Equality of Blind Canadians, Autism Ontario, The Canadian Hearing Society, Canadian Mental Health Association, Centre for Independent Living in Toronto, City of Toronto, The Mix Community Club, Ontario March of Dimes, Pegasus Toronto and Variety Village.

"City Mix" will surely gain popularity as the years go on and the celebrations continue. What a great message, and a great event.

Downtown, Where All The Lights Are Bright

What a fabulous weekend at the Esplanade Bier Markt!

We were pleasantly surprised to see so many people stayed in the city and decided to come out and party with us! The killer EBM staff were servin’ up the cold ones in style as always, and it wasn’t easy to find an open spot on the dance floor all weekend.

We had a great time and are looking forward to getting back there THIS WEEKEND!

We’re back at the Esplanade Bier Markt 9pm-1am this Sunday, August 2 -- and if you’re in town, we’d love to see you there! Just think: “no work on Monday, no work on Monday…” and come on out for some great food and tunes! It seems like summer may finally be here, so hop on by and check out their patio for dinner and then come on inside to dance off those yummy Bier Markt fries.

See you soon!

Purrfect Night Out

By Coincidence is back in the west end this weekend, performing two nights at Liquid Kitty in Hamilton, ON.

This downtown lounge located beneath Tailgate Charlie’s on John Street South has everything you could want for a great night out: big dance floor, comfy couches, several bars, and a large beverage list. Not to mention a friendly, energetic staff line-up! The band performs both Friday & Saturday night, starting around 10:15pm until 2:00am.

Check out the Liquid Kitty website for pics and more! Hope to see you there!

Prettig!

Although this Dutch word means “pleasant, nice, merry, enjoyable…” it was certainly more than just that at the Esplanade Bier Markt this weekend! With the warm weather in full swing, the large Bier Markt patio was packed and full of people taking in the great Esplanade vibe. Inside was full with after-work socials and we saw the start of the bachelorette & stag season, along with many birthday celebrations.

What a nice way to indulge on a spring weekend - pick from over 100 brands of beer and match it with something from their unique and memorable menu. We’re looking forward to getting back there soon, there is nothing quite like the crowd at this venue – always supportive, fun and keep US wanting more. Thanks to you all!

We’re heading to the newest addition to the Bier Markt chain this coming weekend, May 15^th and 16^th – which is located on King Street West. In yet another trendy area of Toronto, this Bier Markt is full of style & elegance; and like its ‘counterbar’ always promises friendly staff members and clients alike.

Make your way to King & Portland this weekend for a bite, a pint and some great music!
