On any given Sunday, at least since we were all babies and The Simpsons started sucking, the best place in the city to squeeze the last few minutes out of your weekend is at Sneaky Dee's. While the Dakota Tavern has been getting more attention (and line-ups) lately for its weekly Barn Dance, Dee's is home to the most delicious veggie nachos ever in the whole world, but, more importantly, the indie-cool mecca Wavelength Music Series. The tried-and-true weekly party turns nine this week and is celebrating in its usual style with an anniversary festival, this year spanning four nights (Thursday–Sunday), five venues, and hosting nineteen bands. As newer weekly showcases such as Two Way Monologues start to build their legacy with local music fans, it wouldn’t be unreasonable to say the task might be daunting: the taste-making Wavelength series counts among its success stories a pre-Polaris Final Fantasy and pre-kings of everything Broken Social Scene (who, as Wavelength co-founder Jonny Dovercourt told us on a past anniversary, played their first show at the series in 2000 at original venue Ted's Wrecking Yard. Holy cred!).
