Crash Vegas was built in the late 1980s around Michelle McAdorey, Jocelyn Lanois, Colin Cripps now with Blue Rodeo and always with Blue Rodeo Greg Keelor. Their jangly folk-rock rose from the TO Queen St. urban roots scene, they garnered radio play, several albums, tours and then split. Too soon. Michelle McAdorey recently released a solo album, a gem of a record, and now has announced a show by Crash Vegas at the Danforth Music Hall in Toronto on Apr 13. Tickets are on sale Friday Feb 10. Doug Paisley opens.

Set in a wooded cabin filled with windows and mirrors and surrounded by milkweed this film portrays a kid moving through a northern landscape, observing and reflecting on their life passing by with the seriousness of an adult. As the sun sets on the white Ranchero parked out front the young actor does a perfect job channelling the spirit of Francesca Woodman.
