So I finally made the plunge and saw an Olympic concert @ the David Lam Park Livecity Yaletown venue. Totally worth the hour long wait. I mean when I went to Edgefest and Summersault festivals the line ups were hours and hours. After a proper security check (no cavity searches thank you) we made it into the venue, and it was definitely a fun night.
After a high energy set by the Arkells, I found myself loving their drummer, but absolutely hating the winter hat the lead singer was wearing. Why? Why could I not get past the hat? No clue- it just looked out of place. I loved the Canadian tux look- but this hat- wardrobe malfunction anybody? Janet Jackson might have approved. He looked like Bob and Doug MacKenzie from SCTV. Anybody out there remember Bob and Doug? Strange Brew? "What a hoser."
Meanwhile, some drunk meat heads in front of us started punching each other. It was as if the Sam Roberts Band were suddenly just entertainment hired for the Anarchist Protest after party. Fists were flying but nobody really knew exactly why. Bet they never read Lord of the Flies in high school. At first they were quite entertaining, but then they decided to start a mosh pit whether or not the song called for one. Romantic ballad? Mosh pit. Dance tune? Mosh pit. Ukulele solo? You get the picture…
Cheers,
Ben.
P.S. Sam Roberts Band flippin' rocked........
