Dears + Sam Roberts


Went to see this show last night at the Civic Centre; it was put on for Carleton and Ottawa University students as an end-of-the-year do and luckily I was able to score tickets. Good show all around, Sam Roberts' set did do some serious damage to my hearing but we probably shouldn't have stood so close to the speakers. . .live and learn. It was somewhat disappointing that security confiscated my liquor at the door but maybe I'm just getting careless in my old age. It was bound to happen at some point; maybe its a blessing in disguise that I didn't get blind drunk on Wednesday.

The Dears put on a great show, playing mostly new tracks from their latest album 'Gang of Losers'. I was loving every minute, but was disappointed that Baby Murray Lightburn wasn't playing tambourine. I guess taking a one-year old on a rock and roll tour is never a good idea. Malajube is playing tonight at Zaphod's but I don't know if I'm going because I don't have job and I really should stop going out every night. Or maybe I should get a job. . . hopefully it won't come to that. . .
