They are great, so please love them.</p> <p>The Secret Show is a yearly (at least), Facebook-organised, mini-music festival that takes place somewhere near my hometown of Pickering, Ontario. It’s been in an <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/tyman/3760719441/">abandoned building</a>, under a highway bridge in a park and in a clearing in a forest.</p> <p>The bands pitch to rent a generator, contribute as much PA gear, lightbulbs and cables they have lying around and trek somewhere inconvenient. Hopefully it keeps growing.</p> <p>This was the fourth Secret Show. It featured <a href="http://www.myspace.com/theemeraldcitymusic">The Emerald City</a>, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/badmoodsto">The Bad Moods</a>, <a href="http://www.myspace.com/thegoodtimes">The Good Times</a>, the aforementioned <a href="http://www.myspace.com/bigcrimes">Big Crimes</a> and <a href="http://www.myspace.com/volcanoplayground">Volcano Playground</a>.
