19 Toronto Must-See Shows In November 2014
Photo cred - o canada
It is officially November and with that comes the cold and with the cold comes sad sad sad Torontonians. Getting out of bed in the morning gets harder because really who wants to leave the comfort of their warm duvet to fight off canadian winds?
Finding ways to not hate your life in the cold months is a sport. Requirements for activities include always being inside, no Torontonian should be succumbed to any further outdoor time than the time it takes to get from their car and/or the street car to the comfort of an indoor venue.
Concerts are always the best option to escape the cold, nothing better than being inside and enjoying some live music. The great news is that Toronto has some great shows lined up for us this month. Ch-Ch-Cheeeeck it out.

Why you're going: You can have whatever you liiiiiiike and that is surely no mediocre TI show (oh my god terrible puns but necessary).

St. Lucia w/ Vacationer
Genre: Pop/Rock
Date: Friday, November 14th
Venue: The Danforth Music Hall
Why you're going: St. Lucia bring their "The Night Comes Again Tour" to Toronto on the 14th and they're bringing Vacationer with them. Two great performances in one is never a bad thing. It's a whole new breed of music when it comes to St.Lucia, Indie electronic meets pop meets rock meets synthpop. It's all good and it's all a great choice for a November concert.

Why you're going: Seems like November is a great month for Toronto hip hop and rap lovers. Ghost face Killah hits up Toronto on a Friday night at the end of the month and while it would be pretty hard to convince a non-rap fan to check out this show you can't argue that the man is a legend amongst MC's. He can rap faster than most even after having been around for decades.
The Arkells
[embed]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdfRVGAjNTw[/embed]Genre: Rock
Date: Saturday, November 29th
Venue: The Danforth Music Hall
Why you're going: If you are a canadian who likes rock music you already have tickets to this show, guaranteed. If you don't already have tickets you should highly consider getting some because these five guys from the hammer, named after the street they grew up on, are insane live and the album that they most recently released in late summer is incredibly impressive.
Bud Light Sensation

Date: Saturday, November 29th
Venue: Rogers Centre
Why you're going: People go nutsooo for this party and rightfully so! 30, 000 people at the Rogers Centre with an 'Into The Wild' theme.

Date: Saturday, November 29th
Venue: Sound Academy
Why you're going: Not everyones cup of tea but for people who enjoy rap music, and very close bodily pushing and shoving at concerts MGK is the one for you. He is known for putting on scandalous live shows complete with crowd surfing and stage diving so we suggest clearing your Sunday schedule because after this Saturday night party you'll need a hardcore recovery day.

Date: Sunday, November 30th
Venue: Virgin Mobile Mod Club

Venue: The Danforth Music Hall
Why you're going: So this little cutie patoutie may not be for everyone but this vine star turned bieber has the chops to back up that sweet face. If you're looking for a new guiltey pleasure or just enjoy pop music than check him out on the 30th at The Danforth.
