The battle continues.
What I was going to say about the show last night: Jen and I skipped out on most of
Fly Pan Am's set in favor of Indian food. We caught their last two songs, and from what Ziggy told me later, the last two songs were about the only good part.
Do Make Say Think had quite the draw. There were more people in the Paradox than I think I'd ever seen before. We copped a squat on the floor stage right (next to the man himself, DJ Riz) and were treated to about an hour's worth of the finest psych-rock Canada has to offer.
There was ample instrument switching going on within the band. The bassist also played trumpet, and guitar on a song; one guitarist played alto sax and flute, and bass on a song; the other gutarist (on a 5 string guitar, no less) played keyboards a few times; and there was another guy who split his time solely between sax and keyboards. The only constant in the band was the drummer. Well, actually, the drummer
s - there were two of them. They all played their parts deftly, doing a great job of recreating the sound of their records, but without sounding sterile.
A few observations:
( Warning: Muso band wanker speak ahead... )I'd really like a shower. Ick.
