MQMusicFest. Respected worldwide, MQM is a Toronto-based full-service
music entertainment company specializing in the development and
promotion of Canadian rock and metal music. Having earned an
all-important "street cred" respectability, MQM and has evolved to
become a "one-stop shop" for the aspiring independent artists/bands,

described by Toronto.com as "New and Trendy", the Rok Boutique is a
stylish throwback to the glitzy eighties scene where hairspray ruled
the day and real men wore pink. This downtown shrine to the likes of
Motley Crue and G'n'R is the perfect place to get things underway!
