Concert Review: Tech N9ne – The Special Effects Tour in Toronto, ON
Within a week of being exactly one year since his last show in Toronto, Tech N9ne has returned on yet another tour.

I almost didn’t go to this show, partly due to a tight budget and also because I had already seen Tech N9ne perform just over a year ago (at the original Rockpile West). Luckily, one of the local opening acts was selling tickets at a discount, and I was in turn able to fit this show into…
