Documentary Theory & Methods – Blog #10

NOW is a free arts and entertainment magazine that comes out of Toronto … I found their Vimeo account where they have a bunch of live performances from bands from or touring through Toronto … I used to live there for several years and I love how so many bands tour through the city … in fact, I plan on visiting Toronto next week for a few live shows and to reconnect with a city I’ve grown to love/hate over the years …

I’m pretty excited to see Spiral Beach the band in the video above live for the first time during my visit to Toronto … again a live performance captured to be shown online … it’s also shot at an amazing record store in Toronto called Sonic Boom … seeing this video made me want to see the band live even more after I heard their record … I’m starting to really enjoy people going out and documenting these performances … obviously the filmmakers have been given permission to film and feature these performances online … which to me is awesome for exposure of independent artists …
