Now I have seen Kids on Fire alot and they have yet to disappoint and I have talked about them enough on here sooooo I will not drone on about how great they are again!
However it was the first time I had seen Dangercat despite them being from Winnipeg. I have to say I was very impressed. They have a great sound that is well rehearsed but not in that over polished kind of way. One thing I really did like about them was 1) they are a 3 piece and you really don't see that many 3 piece bands any more. 2) The bass player and guitar player were very close together in the middle of the stage which you again never see. Usually they are separated by the length of the entire stage. If you see a poster with their name on it go check out the show!!!!
Living with Lions... I first saw this band at War on Music I think... What was a local venue/ record store here in Winnipeg but has now moved locations and is strictly a record store. These guys were great!!! I love their music, I love their energy and just all in all a solid band. Kids were going off and the pit was ruckus which only fuelled the band more! Everyone should give this band a listen and then decide what you think from there but I love em!!! You can check out dates and music here:: http://www.myspace.com/livingwithlions
Regretably I had to miss the headliners ... The Flatliners (Toronto, Ont) I have seen these guys play before and they have a great mix of straight ahead punk rock with a touch of ska and if you have even a smidge of ska guaranteed I will more then likely love it! I am sorry I had to miss The Flatliners but next time!!!!
