The Bedouin show in my first year was what introduced me to their music.

I still think they should have gotten Rush. Now that's a must-see show.

I dislike Rush so I wouldn't call them a must see. I'm not into their sound.

As far as super popular Canadian bands go I'd rather see The Tragically Hip, love, love, love them. They just played Massey Hall with tickets $90 a pop though so I'd guess their fee is quite hefty.

I'd love to see this guy at Mac, Joshua Bartholomew. He's an independent Canadian artist, based in Toronto.

I've purchased both of his albums and both are amazing. He's such an amazingly talented young man.

That would be epic. City and Colour, last song is Sleeping Sickness, Gord Downie comes out to sing his part of the song, then Dallas leaves and the rest of The Hip come on stage.

I'd die haha.

Why does a band playing at a different university mean they can't play at Mac? I mean unless they are on the same day.

I know Alexisonfire played at least 3 froshes last year.

I'm surprised the bands have been kept under wraps this long.

Last year I heard alexis and tpc were playing when I went for welcome day like august 8th or whenever it was!

I dont think it matters if youre into their sound or not but they've put Canada on the map in a lot of ways, and Neil Pert is one of the best drummers of all time - I'm pretty sure that's something of an epic must see.
