The Pizza Underground
One of the most curious additions to the 2014 edition of the NXNE festival was The Pizza Underground, a band who take the songs of The Velvet Underground and change the lyrics so the songs are all pizza-themed.
It is… interesting.
Sarah managed to speak to the band about all things pizza.

Reggie Watts
Reggie Watts, he of the bountiful hair and strange combination of comedy and music, was in Toronto for the recent NXNE festival.
This was reason enough for Sarah to talk to him about Canada and some of the other things that make him tick.

Yonge-Dundas Square NXNE crowd in 2012
It’s the NXNE festival’s 20th anniversary this year so we took the opportunity to check in about what’s new with director Michael Hollett as well as pick his brain about some of the best acts he’s seen at the fest over the years.
As an added bonus I also included some of the notable acts I’ve seen over the years like Peaches, Flaming Lips and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club.
