Weekend Startup w/ Boot Knives
Resident rockers Boot Knives take over the Lounge with an impressive repertoire of classic rock that's already garnered them a loyal following at Drake. Watch as they pull off vocals worthy of Bowie and Sting and throw down crazy guitar riffs Slash would be proud to have ripped. A self-proclaimed hootenanny - but with none of the 'nanny' and twice the 'hoot' - the band hits the stage every Thursday night to start your weekend with an all-out, home-grown dance-a-thon.

At 7pm, the panini press comes out and we start producing grilled cheese sandwiches and, at that point, anything can happen: singing, dancing, haircuts, crickets, old people, children. It's Mammalian - we do it all.

Skratch Bastid
The Bastid has become one of Canada’s most in-demand DJs and respected producers. But it didn't happen overnight. After pumping out mixtapes and earning a loyal following in his hometown of Halifax, Skratch began making an international name for himself through DJ competitions like the DMC, ITF and Cincinnati's Scribble Jam, which he... won three times. From there, the redhead went viral. Seriously, Youtube that shit.
