Today in Toronto: Last El Mocambo show, Reel Asian, ArtAttack, Planet in Focus, Tanya Tagaq, Mac DeMarco

Today in Toronto it's your very last chance to see a show at the El Mocambo. A sizable line up of bands you likely haven't heard of will play a modest send off fitting to the low profile the venue has kept in Toronto's music scene of late, yet it's hard not to see it as a lackluster farewell given the venue's long history. No word yet on if the city is buying the sign.

The Toronto Reel Asian Film Festival and the environmentally themed Planet in Focus also kick off today, joining several ongoing film fests around the city. 2014's Polaris Prize winner Tanya Tagaq is sold out, so I hope a nice pal with an extra ticket will take you. If that fails, fellow nominee Mac DeMarco is playing in town as well. Buddies in Bad Times' ArtAttack charity auction is also tonight. For more events, click on over to our events section.
