A couple of weeks ago the Juno Awards rolled into town, and with it a bunch of shows under the banner of Junofest. I missed most of them, did did manage to make it out to Targ to catch Partner and a bunch of other acts - Juno nominees Weaves, Toronto's Thrifty Kids and Ottawa's own Scary Bear Soundtrack. The Scary ones were on first, here's some bass action with Dannik!
