I got to the
Phoenix Concert Theater in Toronto very early. It was cold
and rainy, and I just happend to get in under the tarp for
a long wait in line. When I got in, I rushed up to the 19+
section to find my self a big comfy chair right at the railing
on the balcony where I got to review the whole show. So here
it goes. It was my first time hearing anything from The Eyeliners,
and I thought they did an okay job. Its good to see some females
showing off their punk talent.
Slick Shoes I had seen before at the Government with MxPx.
They were a good band to see perform when you don't know much
of their stuff. Very easy to get to like. I came to the show
to see Yellowcard, No Use, and Guttermouth.
Yellowcard came out, and the violin came into their music
was the greatest sound live ever. Everyone was pogo-ing all
over the place. I also would like to add, Yellowcard does
a great cover of Michelle Branch's Everywhere. They also played
Finish Line, a song that went out to the band The Starting
Line, who they previously toured with.
No Use For A Name, I have seen four or five times now. Nothing
will ever compare to the first time I saw them. However, it
was still a fantastic show. They opened up with just what
I wanted them to open up with. The first to tracks on their
latest album. Mellow and soft, then cranked right up!
Guttermouth
on the other hand, I have no idea where they get their energy
from. He acted like an eight year old boy who ate 5 pounds
of chocolate! But it was fuckin awesome, considering Guttermouth's
music and style is really fast and crazy-like. At one point,
he had some sleezy girl come up on stage from the pit, and
dance with him. She flaunted herself all over the stage, to
the band, and to the fans. Then Guttermouth told her to get
the fuck off their stage. It was pretty hallarious. If Guttermouth
ever comes back, be sure to go to their show. One of the greatest
bands ever to see a live performance of.
