It seems that great concerts usually happen in the summer in Toronto but this fall features a great slate of shows. The highlight of the month was Kylie Minogue on her first ever North American tour.

The girl can sing and put on one of the best performances I have ever seen, in any genre. Every single person at the show (10,000 strong) met Kylie’s enthusiasm with a 2 hour sing and dance-along.  Adorned in Jean-Paul Gauthier and Alexander McQueen, and backed by her endowed, err, talented dancers, Kylie gave it her all and the ecstatic Toronto crowd, which must have included a majority of the queer boys in the city, ate it all up.

Keeping the dance-floor going has been the goal of some amazing Toronto natives playing shows this fall.  Dragonnette did it last week at the Mod Club, and at the end of month one of my personal favs, Peaches,  is venturing home to play her raunchy classics, as well as newer dance beats from her latest album, I Feel Cream. It’ll be interesting to see what Peaches says about her homecoming on her tour blog.

Some imported acts with shows coming up include The Gossip, Mum and UK darlings, Florence and the Machine.  All in all it’s a good fall of music in T.O!
