Thursday - Horseshoe, Toronto
Yonder Mountain String Band
27 strings and 120 penises. great music, but i would have preferred a sunday afternoon in the grass over a thursday night at the sweaty horseshoe.
Friday - Jimmy Jazz, Guelph
Run With The Kittens
kinda like prog-ween. wicked chops and tight changes, with a great sense of humour and lots of confidence. a super slick guitar player that seems to always know exactly what to throw down at the right time, a rhythm section to hold it together like crazy glue, and a frontman with all the energy you want. a young band that's only going to get even better.
Monday - Opera House, Toronto
The Hold Steady
straight up sweaty rock n roll the way it should be. big meaty hooks, catchy lyrics and clever turns of phrase. 5 guys giving it their all with shirt-soaking energy, a full bar giving it back in the same way, great interaction and audience participation. the hold sweaty almost killed me.
