Black & Blue
And we're off...I finished my essay in time to get to class to hand it in and sit through three more hours of class before my ECMAs kicked off. As a happy coincidence the big draw for me last night was at the SUB so I just needed to make the short walk across the parking lot from Tilley Hall.
7 bands on two stages was a pretty daunting task but I managed to get my money's worth (0$). hey rosetta!, Grand Theft Bus, The Tom Fun Orchestra, Two Hours Traffic, and Wintersleep. I made the decision to skip the Trews because I will see them on Saturday and there was logjam to get back into the ballroom. All the bands were impressive because, as a rule, anyone who can play an instrument in front of people impresses me.
hey rosetta! lived up the to hype I've heard although I arrived halfway through their set. Grand Theft Bus were their usual tight selves although, I would have hoped to see them pump the crowd a little more - this is their hometown after all. The Tom Fun orchestra was probably the highlight of my night; think Arcade Fire goes to the circus with a Tom Waits/Buck 65 hybrid leading the party. Two Hours Traffic played a very tight set and had the crowd eating it up, which is always a good sign. Wintersleep had to deal with a crowd that had been drinking for four hours and did a commendable job. Not sure what today brings but I will try to keep you posted.
Dr. Rock
PS - for the ECMA version of Flashback Friday I found this Canadian classic:
A catchy little ditty about spousal abuse...nice
