Nine Mile and the Junkyard Drumkit
On January 25, Toronto’s Nine Mile kicked off their duo tour (that will eventually see them performing in Hawaii, the lucky dogs!) with another fantastic show at Whole Wheat n’ Honey Cafe.
The packed cafe was treated to some marvelously unusual stories and sounds – from D’Ari’s limitless stories of Cambodian shit pigs and how he managed to evade a false drug trafficking charge, to Dave Tolley’s audience-created junkyard drumkit, it was one of those memorable “you had to be there” shows.
