If you're in the market for a piece of music history, Kurt Cobain's childhood home just went on sale for a price tag of $500,000. But if your budget for sweet, sweet music isn't quite that high, why not just check out the next concert headed your way? In another Can't Miss Concerts, we've done the legwork and highlighted just a few of the excellent shows coming to cities across Canada from October 3-9.
Austra
Operatic synth-pop outfit Austra, who graced our cover back in the summer, have hit the road in support of their excellent sophomore release Olympia. On their way across North America and Europe, the Toronto band will stop off in Winnipeg and Calgary for a pair of October dates.

10/9 Calgary, AB - The Gateway (Sait)
Cancer Bats
As part of their Double Headed Bat Madness North American tour, Toronto punks Cancer bats are making their way east across the prairies, hitting a number of cites in Alberta and Saskatchewan along the way.
