Today in Toronto: Sloan, Brett Despotovich, Filthy Dirty Retro Bingo, Grouplove, Rich Aucoin, Pedro, TIFF

Today in Toronto catch indie-rockers Sloan at the HMV Underground at 6pm. You can get a copy of their new album Commonwealth signed, or just push your vintage sunglasses up your nose, cross your arms, and bask in the past. At the Drake Hotel, Rich Aucoin will release EPHEMERAL and I'm guessing there will be colourful plastic tarps involved. TIFF continues - see our picks from the fest so far here.

Brett Despotovich is opening an exhibition of new work in the old Clint Roenisch space on Queen, and if your name is Pedro, you drink for free at Bar Wellington tonight. I'm going to guess you should bring ID, or at least your mom, for verification. For more events, click on over to our events section.
