The last day of NXNE always feels a bit like the circus has left town. Big-ticket performers are gone, fewer venues are hosting NXNE gigs and festivalgoers are showing major symptoms of battle fatigue. But over at Yonge and Dundas Square on Sunday night, the announcers assured throngs of eager fans: "Sunday -- and the party's still going!"

What a difference a day makes. Following a Friday night when most NXNE festivalgoers had all the energy of castoffs from Night of the Living Dead - my favourite tweet from Friday's NXNE feed: "Unless David Bowie is the secret guest, I'm going the hell home" - everyone rebounded tonight, as the festival offered up one amazing set after another.

After the dizzying highs of Thursday, I suppose it was only natural that night two of my epic band crawl would be a bit of a comedown. There were still plenty of treasures on offer at NXNE, it just took a bit more digging to find them.

With bar hours extended until 4 a.m. at key music venues around town, and several high-profile acts all slated in the festival's coveted late-night time slots, Fridays at NXNE can sometimes take a little planning and a whole lot of stamina. Here's a lookahead to the bands Lee Ferguson is hoping to catch tonight.

Just got home from my first night of club-hopping. I'm still a little breathless and giddy after sampling lots of terrific music tonight - most of it of the ear-splitting variety.

This year's North By Northeast music festival, which runs in Toronto from June 14-20, is offering up 650 bands as well as an impressive programme of band-themed films. Lee Ferguson will be blogging this year's festival for CBCNews.ca, and gives a rundown of the acts she'll be catching tonight.

Bruce McDonald's new film, This Movie Is Broken, is a different kind of concert movie: a love story set against the backdrop of a 2009 show by the group Broken Social Scene at Toronto's Harbourfront.

A surprising number of concert movies have been shot in Toronto, and they feature a mix of world-class pop artists and musicians virtually unknown outside the 416 area code. Here's a look at the history of this cinematic sub-genre, which stretches back more than 40 years.
