TV on the Radio

Just two days after seeing Born Ruffians (refer to previous post), I had the oppurtunity of seeing one of my favourite bands ever: TV on the Radio.
Trekking all the way down to Sound Academy was worth it.
This is a band that is not only tight and enjoys what they're doing, but also put on a great show (even if it is a little flashy.)
They're clearly not for everyone, but the crowd was definitely enjoying it, as they went through 14 songs in just an hour and a half (and that's impressive for a band whose shortest song is probably 4 minutes.)

Set list:
1. Young Liars
2. *I must have been too into it for this one, cuz I have no recollection of what it was, but I believe it was off of Desperate Youth, Bloodthirsty Babes.
3. Caffeinated Conciousness
4. Blues From Down Here
5. Will Do
6. Province
7. Red Dress
8. Crying
9. Staring At The Sun
10. Repetition
11. Wolf Like Me

Encore:
12. A Method
13. Forgotten
14. Satellite

An amazing show overall, and nice to see a band that's personable and will get the audience involved as well. They have five albums out: Ok Calculator; Desperate Youth, Bloodthirsty Babes; Return to Cookie Mountain; Dear Science and Nine Types of Light

As always, listen and enjoy

Born Ruffians

On April 16th, I had the oppurtunity to see one of Canada's best exports, Born Ruffians, in concert at the Opera House. I was expecting a great show, but I didn't realize I'd be seeing an amazing show.
It was by far one of the best concerts I've ever been too. They didn't have anything flashy, but they were extremely tight, sounded like they do on the album (don't worry...no lip-singing) and they genuinely seemed to be having a good time.
Going through 16 out of their 21 songs (not counting EPs) I was very impressed.

Set-List:
1. Foxes Mate For Life
2. Barnacle Goose
3. Sole Brother
4. In A Mirror
5. Higher and Higher
6. Retard Canard
7. The Ballad of Moose Bruce
8. Oh Man
9. Little Garcon
10. Come Back
11. Nova-Leigh
12. Hummingbird
13. What To Say
14. I Need A Life

Encore:
15. Badonkadonkey
16. Kurt Vonnegut

This band is extremely talented and worth checking out. They have two albums out, Red, Yellow and Blue and Say It.

Listen and enjoy!
