So the pop explosion's been really good so far. Went to seahorse on tuesday for the Devorce showcase. It was my first time seeing Ol' Time Relijin, and was really into them. The fun part was watching Nathan's mind be blown away when one of the members played two saxiphones at once!! Incredible! Aidswolf were pretty much what I expected them to be, crazy noise/art rock. At one piont the singer tried to make her way into the crowd. And since I was right up front, started with a nose-to-nose staredown with me. I'm not sure who won. Probubly her, since I ended up with makeup on my nose.
Last night was my first time in the newly re-opened Marquee. I like the idea of blocking off half of the room for smaller shows, it makes it more intimate. It was my first time seeing I See Rowboats, amazingly since they've played alot since their formation. Didn't know what to expect, and was blown away! Easily one of my favorite new bands in Halifax. Laura was as great as she always is, not much to say other than that. One of the best songwriters in the city. Besnard Lakes were really good too. Nice balance of wall-of-sound rockers and slow-burners.
So, yeah, so far it's been really good. Tonite, it's all about getting my dance on in Hell. Because really, you're in Hell...might as well get your dance on!
