UPDATE: Uncle Lou has been detained by ICE and needs help. His spot has always had its doors open to anybody and everybody. He’s done his part for years. It’s time to give back. The show has moved up the block to Dirty Laundry (Will’s Pub outside patio). Bring all the money you have to give. FUCK ICE
THE CAUTION CHILDREN (FL)
Florida’s melodic titans make their way back to Toronto for the first time in nearly 15 years—for real this time! Discussed in hushed, reverent tones (more as an urban legend than a band of living and breathing human beings), The Caution Children have spent the last 20 years honing their uniquely transcendental sound, speaking in codes and conjuring genuine miracles through rapturous live performances. After all but disappearing a few years after 2014’s landmark “Safe Crusades / No Judgments / And Baby” LP and a 2016 split with Innards, the band rematerialized in 2023, emerging from their cave with greater understanding. They’re probably your favourite band’s favourite band, and in this writer’s opinion, last year’s “Appropriate Music” is already a stone cold classic: not just the best album of 2025, but sure to be heralded forever as the best of what this scene has to offer.
There’s no band quite like them—come see what we mean this summer at NFF’26, July 31st–August 2nd!
