By Divine Right is a Canadian indie rock institution — a band that has been quietly shaping the sound of Toronto for more than three decades. Formed in 1989 and led ever since by singer, guitarist, and producer José Miguel Contreras, the group has become both a beloved act in its own right and a legendary proving ground: among the roughly two dozen musicians who have passed through its ranks are Brendan Canning and Leslie Feist, who played in the band in the late '90s before going on to help found Broken Social Scene. Members of Holy Fuck have also done time in the fold. Through every lineup, Contreras has remained the constant creative force, crafting what critics call "airy, hazy, pop-infused rock'n'roll" — psychedelic pop that balances diamond-sharp melodies with all-out noise. Hailed as one of the most important Canadian indie bands of the '90s — and still going strong — By Divine Right remains as sharp, hazy, and hook-driven as ever. Saturday October 17 at Temple with @statusnonstatus and @cassia.hardy  Presented by Double Lunch, Cups N Cakes and CJSR! All-ages!  Doors 7:30/Show 8:30 $20 advance.

With a name that demands attention, Status/Non-Status is a band that boldly explores Indigenous identity, politics, and ancestry. Their music blends folk rock, psychedelia, post-rock, and grunge into powerful soundscapes that resonate with emotional depth and cultural significance. Adam Sturgeon—lead singer and Anishinaabe community worker—is the driving force behind Status/Non-Status. Defined as “non-status” by the Canadian government, Sturgeon’s identity is rooted in the complex history of his family. His grandfather enfranchised to join the Armed Forces and become a Canadian citizen, creating a legacy that Sturgeon confronts in his music and work. His artistic journey is deeply intertwined with raising awareness about the impact of colonization while striving to reconnect with his Anishinaabe/Potawatomi roots and community. Committed to analyzing and questioning colonial systems of oppression, his work reflects the struggles of his people and offers a path toward healing.

🔒🔑VOILÀ! My first ever remix of a song, "Locked Boy" from my album 72RHR. Music to me is pure emotion, while dancing is pure joy. It was an exciting process to deconstruct the original and turn it into something else. I love dancing! I love catharsis! Moving on the dance floor, arms stretched to the sky, or ceiling! The aim was to stop thinking and lose myself in music, remixing "Locked Boy" with a driving beat, and words used sparingly, like emotional acupuncture. I'm dropping a full mind-boggling mystery collab album this Fri. Sept 4 via @handdrawndracula 💥 We're celebrating with a listening party/album launch Thurs. Sept. 10th @littlejerryto 418 College St. T.O. with guest DJs @danielmoonking @plastic__fantastic__ @robert_steenkamer and me, SY Lee. 9PM till late. It's also the opening night of @tiff_net 🎬Movie and music lovers are welcome! NO COVER/ ABSOLUTELY FREE! 🕊️ They've got a heckofa sound system. For this mix/visualizer, I put the original song in a blender, drained the colour, deleted, added, and exported a collage video-mix-up. Re-purpose, recycle, re-create! (OG music vid by Lee & Gamble Unlimited- me 'n' @dylangamblez ) According to @cupsncakesnet there are ONLY 5 vinyl LPS left of my album 72RHR on @handdrawndracula 😳 Get one thru my bandcamp 🔗in bio Big thanks to @cupsncakesnet for premiering the "Locked Boy" Mix.

@shivandthecarvers return today with new single “Executionary” via @twinfangrecords premiering on @cupsncakesnet 😈 The song also arrives with a new music video inspired by lo-fi ‘90s DIY camcorder aesthetics, where Shiv awakens in the hazy aftermath of an all-night party, navigating a smoke-filled room. As the band carries the revelry into the next day, their hands and movements remain bound by ropes, struggling against invisible forces as they press on through the performance. Head over to cupsncakespod.com to watch now! 📸 @rockin_paddy
