The Morning Thieves would probably be the first to admit that they’re all about the hooks. It’s rare to find a young band that’s enthusiastic about personal connection with their audience without coming off as totally superficial.

Toronto’s LG Fashion Week got off to a rather slow start. Held in tents at David Pecaut Square instead of out in the boondocks, Monday began with an introductory speech from FDCC head Robin Kay (who spoke of Canada, coolness, and the ways in which Canada is cool) followed by the Holt Renfrew show.
