What Toronto restaurant do you like to eat at before a show?

Shanghai Cowgirl, because the food and service are great. And there’s a sweet back patio in the summer.

What club do you hit when you want to party after the gig?

If I feel like throwing down, I’ll either hit the Grace Street Social Club for some of the best underground punk shows going or the Bovine Sex Club to listen to dudes like Al Nolan and guys from Sloan spin great records.

Who is your favourite Toronto artist?

The Little Millionaires – everything I love about punk rock crammed into one band.

What do you love most about Toronto?

All the good times and good friends the city has given me.

What do you hate about it?

All the good times and good friends the city has given me.

Hotel of choice?

Strathcona. Cheap and close to where I spend my evenings.

How do you spend your day off in Toronto?

The ROM. If you go 45 minutes before it closes, it’s free. I’m a poor musician, so I love deals like that. I went with a friend to the dinosaur exhibit. It was unreal.

What was your biggest misconception about Toronto?

That people were smarter than in Hamilton.

What was the wildest time you’ve ever had in Toronto?

I’m really trying to stay out of prison, so I will have to let this question go unanswered. But I will say this: best show I have ever had the privilege to be at was the Grade reunion at the Opera House. Unreal.
