Print-out tickets from home are a lot lamer as a collectible compared to an actual ticket stub!
Wintersleep never disappoints!
Opening Band: Caveboy who did a great cover of Whitney Houston’s ‘I Wanna Dance with Somebody”
Thoughts of the show:
– It’s pretty cool when you go to a show and they have CDs and vinyl available from their new album a week before the release date to everyone else.
– I managed to grab a poster at the end of the night. I think Spectrasonic prints off a few posters that they use to hang up around town for the fans?
– Caveboy was a fun opening band.
– Wintersleep played a lot of new songs during this concert which I hadn’t heard before. It definitely seems like their new album will be a lot more low-key than other albums. A lot of acoustic guitar being played by Paul Murphy.
– Loel Campbell is a beast on drums. In fact, I would put him in the Top 3 current drummers out there. I sometimes wonder if the band sets an encore of Laser Beams, Orca and Nerves Normal, Breath Normal to see if they can punish him!
– Met up with Kelly who was excited to see Wintersleep play live for the first time. She was impressed.
– I’ve seen Wintersleep six times now over the past nine years and they still are one of my favourites to check out live.
