I thoroughly enjoyed Toronto’s Small Sins (formerly known as The Ladies And Gentlemen) at the Bowery Ballroom last night. Fresh off their tour with The Scissor Sisters, they played an energetic set of synth-pop/rock infused with a generous helping of maracas. Small Sins will be back for CMJ on November 3 at the Canal Room as part of the Astralwerks showcase (their eponymous “Small Sins” record was originally released on the Canadian label Boompa in September 2005).
