Last nights show was amaaaazzing!!

This band rocks. I really had no idea what to expect. Not knowing anything about them except their songs, which i knew were great. But they put on a great show. Great msuicians, lots of nice transitions from mellower instrumental songs, to heavy rocking songs.

I was nervous for them a lot of the time, as the Call The Office stage is quite small, and awkwardly shaped. And the 5 man band, features a couple very large guys, with 2 guitars, a bass and keyboard up front, and with them jumping around a lot, i thought for sure someone was going down missing an eye, but nope!!

Anytime you get the chance to see em, take it!!!

I'd agree, these guys pack a surprising punch. Great albums, but they really shine on stage. I almost didn't end up going to check them out, but that would have been a mistake. Thanx for the heads-up, Adrian.

A couple photos that I managed to capture, despite the dismal lighting:

Their Calgary show a couple weeks ago was amazing. Definitely one of the best shows I've seen in quite a while. Great band!

Glad to hear the reviews boys!
Heading to the show tonight so we'll report back tomorrow for y'all!

*EDIT:

Show last night was killer!
Short, early set which made for about 100 people to come in towards the end of an hour and 15 minute set and ask: "oh, their already on?" Chris has a great story to tell about some jacka$$ that reamed him out because he (the guy, not Chris) was late. I'll let him elabourate if he wants.

Anyways, for those of you still on the fence as to whether you like this band or not - go see them live, they are the REAL DEAL!

Favourite song last night: AWESOME version (complete with crowd sing-a-long) of Ocra!

MattyM's very kindly picking up the other two albums for me while he's in Toronto. :thumb:

He should be back in London by now... but I cannot guarantee that he, or your CDs, will be dry.

Hehe, just got in.

Ben, I've got your CDs my friend, and they're dry, we (wisely) didn't take them to visit Niagara!

The gig was awesome by the way Wink
