On Friday, downtown Toronto welcomes a brand new music venue with a concert headlined by the Halluci Nation: the TD Music Hall.
On the fourth floor of the Allied Music Centre building that connects to the revitalized Massey Hall on Victoria Street, the state-of-the-art, 500-capacity hall will provide a much needed space for emerging Canadian and international talent.
“A great city for music needs a myriad of great venues, and the need for small, sustainable spaces is higher now than ever before,” Allied Music Centre CEO Jesse Kumagai said in an email interview. And the venue gets its first test when the Halluci Nation concludes the tour for its latest album, “One More Saturday Night,” before coming back with more of its infectious electronic pow wow-step sound later this year.
“But that doesn’t mean we’re leaving everything behind,” he said, adding that music from when the duo was known as A Tribe Called Red will continue to be performed. “We worked with them producing their most recent album and we took out of those recording sessions what we could draw from, so they’ll definitely be a big voice on this one for us,” Thomas said.
“It’s part of the reason why that name Halluci Nation has become our full-time name now,” Thomas said.“I don’t really think we do anything that’s separate when it comes to the Halluci Nation. It’s always a group effort, right down to our management and other people that we collaborate with in music videos, and even our merch: it all ties in together and is all working parts. We would be nothing without those things.
