One of the bands that was particularly good was Fionna Tough's band Mango Angle. The amazing hostess definitely wowed the crowed with her phenomenal vocals, cheerful commentary, and delicious cupcakes. I will gladly take part in any event that involves Fionna Tough! What an amazing night!

Here are some pictures of the event!

And lastly Mango Angle. They were awesome. - Malinda Prud'homme @blogspot.com

There's no better way to start this off than having a lunch date with a hot, up-and-coming Toronto-based band!

From Left: Drew, Mike, Fionna, Alicia, Adam.

Without further ado, I give you Mango Angle!

Lunch Date: Mango Angle (consisting of: Fionna Tough on lead vocals, Alicia Tough on keys and vocals, Drew Shannon on guitar and vocals, Micheal Pereira on bass, and Adam Pereira on drums), July 15 2012.

Lunch Location: BQM, the Ossington location (210 Ossington Ave.)

What we all ate: Fionna and Alicia shared a lovely poached pear salad with blue cheese and toasted almonds. Fionna then also had The Natural, a burger with red onion, pickle and a garlic aioli (adding her own special flair, Fionna’s burger also included avocado and roasted red peppers).

Alicia and Drew both had the BQM, looking yummy with its horseradish and garlic aioli and caramelized onions. Mango Angle fans will be interested to know that Drew eats his fries with mustard. How odd!

After some indecision, Micheal (or “Mike” as he is sometimes known) had the Banquet burger, a true feast with bacon, cheddar, garlic aioli, red onion and pickle.

Taking a chance, Adam had the burger of the day, topped with pineapple, jalapeno aioli, blue cheese and bacon.

My initial choice was a pulled pork sandwich, but they didn’t have any that day! This just means I have to return to give it a try. Instead I went with the Smoked Red, a delicious burger topped with smoked white cheddar, roasted red peppers and chipotle sauce. Yum!

Lunch Review: So many tasty options to choose from! Fear not, vegetarians. There are many tasty things for you too (and gluten free options as well!). The burgers were giant, and bigger than our mouths (because of the generous amount of toppings). Each burger is cooked to order (I ordered mine medium, and that’s what I got). My favourite part about this place is that all [meat] burgers are made from local, naturally raised, hormone free beef. This makes it a little less daunting when eating out and having to worry about what foods we are putting into our bodies – something we all agreed about! My burger was delicious, moist (I hate this word, but feel it’s appropriate here), and perfectly flavourful. I also had a ceasar, which was the ideal accompaniment for my meal. While I thought the food was great, our server was also so lovely – I am a horrible person and forgot her name! But maybe she wouldn’t want it featured in the blog anyways. All in all, I would recommend a trip to BQM. If you want to come with me when I try the pulled pork, let me know.

Review of Mango Angle: What a fantastic group of people! Not only are they great musicians, but they are also courteous, conscientious, companionable, and comedic. Having been to a few Mango Angle shows, I can say that their music is fun and danceable, but also very clever and interesting. This is no surprise once you have a chance to sit down and chat with this multifaceted group that jokingly refers to themselves as a “family band”. Though I suppose it’s not really a joke, since the band does contain two sets of siblings: Alicia and Fionna hail from Sudbury, while Mike and Adam grew up in Toronto. Drew, originally from London, rounds it all out.

Mango Angle will woo you with their music, and their charm, talent and attractiveness make it easy to have crushes on all of them. I am looking forward to the day they achieve great success and receive many accolades for their excellent musicianship, because then I can say that I did the first interview with them! Mango Angle gets 5/5 glasses of wine in my books.

But don’t take my word for it! Read on below for the full interview, and be sure to check out their upcoming shows!

July 17, The Rainbow Bistro, Ottawa

August 9, The Velvet Underground, Toronto

Also: Don’t forget to hear their music for yourself, and be sure to “Like” them on Facebook to stay in the loop for upcoming shows. - wordpress.com
