I had no idea that Danforth Music Hall had been around for 100 years. Of course it was more of a vaudeville & movie house in the early days. This article discusses a bit about its legacy. It sounds like it was still operating in the early 90s, though I wouldn't have considered coming out that far. Then there were some dark days in the early 2000s when it came close to going under, but it's been under new management since 2014 and is in better shape than ever.
I've been to see The Lowest of the Low twice, Psychedelic Furs and the Irish comedian Dylan Moran. It appears there is a bit of a birthday celebration this weekend, and The New Pornographers are playing. There are still some tickets, but I can't actually make it unfortunately.
I think I will pass on Adam Ant as the tickets are a bit steep for a nostalgic act, but I will check out Tinariwen in late September. I don't always remember to check their listings, but it's definitely a convenient place to go see a show. Hopefully it will be around for at least another 50 years, before inevitably being replaced by a condo tower...
