NXNE-ers are still winding down, swapping stories and pics from last weekend’s fun. The shot above should rekindle memories for anyone at the Wintersleep show at Yonge-Dundas Square. More to jog your memory here.

Youth Brigade @ Yonge-Dundas Square, Saturday June 20. Their set at the Bovine was also said to be one of NXNE’s shouldn’t-have-missed moments. More pics here.

…NXNE 2009 was in its infancy, and “I’m an Adult Now” was on the radio?

Re-live those halcyon daze with pics from NXNE’s Opening Night Gala at the Berkeley Church…see Toronto’s prettiest people posing with the NXNE bunny. Go ahead and add captions if you recognize yourself.

Tired musicians and media dragged their bodies out of bed on the final day of NXNE to head down to BMO Field for the annual “Put the Boot In” charity soccer match, always an integral part of NXNE week. Coached by members of Toronto FC and led by members of Bedouin Soundclash, Great Big Sea, Fashion TV, and the Ontario NDP, the “Rockers” and “Rollers” put on an entertaining display of staying upright for the several-hundred-strong throng. The game ended fittingly in a 1-1 draw. All proceeds from the match will go to Right to Play, an international sport-based human rights organization.

Full match pics here.
