This week's entertainment picks: Camper Van Beethoven/Cracker, The Cribs & Adam Green

We're back into the full concert swing after the Christmas and New Year's lull.  Check out these shows in Toronto this week:

The Cribs w. Adam Green, The Phoenix, Jan. 15
UK indie rockers The Cribs team up with former Moldy Peach Green to put on what should be a very entertaining double bill.

Camper Van Beethoven and Cracker, Lee's Palace, Jan. 16
It's time for a double shot of Dave Lowry as two of the most fun and catchiest indie rock bands prove experience matters.  Read my recent interview with Camper's Victor Krummenacher here.

This film follows Canadian singer/songwriter David Porteous' journey across Europe, writing songs as he visits battlefields and cemeteries where the soldiers themselves toiled.  Proceeds go to the Royal Canadian Legion Poppy Trust Fund.
