It was great meeting some of the fellow Basers at the Wheat Sheaf before the show. Good food and drink at that bar.
I gotta hand it to the Sadies, first off. I had never heard this band before...but really was digging their mix of country/surf rock. I definately would see this band again.
The Weakerthans had good sound, but werent really doing it for me.
But ohh The Hip. I dont have very much to say about them, just because they completely blew me away...and I am speechless. This was my 6th show...and I didnt know what to expect in terms of the setlist, because I knew they had been mixing it up a lot lately, but it was just phenomenal. At my last hip show (new years 2004), they played a lot of the "standard radio songs" which was great...but it was a treat to here some of the rarities. Great show, great atmosphere, great people...and no complains. I couldnt ask for anything more.
Hope to see the boys again soon!
