Quick Chat with: Darryl Hurs

Darryl Hurs from Indie Week Toronto talks to Sonicbids’ David Ellis and Jenny Langer about:

• What’s new for this year’s Indie Week Toronto, why they focus on the artist, and the percentage of acts they usually select (it’s huge)

• Irish bands who kick ass

• Where most bands fall short

• Making sure you’re putting your best foot forward

• Making connections

• A bonus part of the festival- the competition and prizes

• Creative press kits from his past (hint: Sharpie markers)
