 ay less than dog years, the lifespan of most non-monarchical/dictatorial governments can be measured in months. Similarly, nightclubs blink in and out of existence almost as quickly. Therefore, a dozen years as either a government or a club deserves a celebration. The Guvernment would agree.
About to enter its 12th year, the sprawling complex by the lake continues to house bands, churn out beats, and cultivate sweat. Despite an inauspicious neighbourhood and a lot of space to fill, it has managed to carve out a large and reliable niche in the Toronto club scene.
Lately, the Guvernment has unabashedly annexed long-weekend Sunday nights, throwing a variety of flashing-light affairs. This one sees the decks attended to by usual suspects, Manzone and Strong and Mark Oliver, and quick-handed additions Sander Kleinenberg, Ferry Corsten, Dieselboy, Stanton Warriors, and others. Drink water and wear a party hat. -S.T.
Tickets are $36.50 - $46.50 @ Ticketmaster or 416-870-8000
The Guvernment, 131 Queens Quay East, Toronto, ON |
