Holy crap this is getting long. And every day I think, "Ooo, musn't forget
that gig..." 26 years of going to shows will do that to you.
Still in progress. Don't expect much in the way of critical analysis, I'm
more likely to remember that I drank half a bottle of lemon gin in the ally
before the gig and threw up in the mosh pit than I am that the guitar was
tuned a half-note sharp all night.
I know there is stuff missing from this list. I know I have seen
Dayglo Abortions,
Bobs Your Uncle,
Furnace Face,
The Doughboys,
The Ripcordz and
The 39 Steps. I have seen tons of live bands
at Larry's Hideaway, The Gasworks and Lee's Palace in Toronto and at The
Trasheteria and the Albion Hotel in Guelph. I've been to all-day outdoor
blues festivals and watched teenagers play horrific metal in record-store
basements.
I just can't remember much about it.
Bands I Will See One Day
Skunk Anansie Old-fashioned
ass-kicking rock music. And I have a huge crush on the singer.
Pop Will Eat
Itself. The Poppies played in the UK this winter and I am JEALOUS.
Tanzwut. German industrial
bagpipe music. I shit you not. Their version of Ode to Joy
has got to be heard to be believed.
