Along with the radio taping last night, I also managed to head out and check out some live music in the form of Canadian indie rockers The Weakerthans out at Webster Hall. You can check out the shots I took over at Flickr. Big thanks to David for the free pass in — it certainly helps when you’re still a day away from pay day.
The show itself was pretty good. I was getting a bit of that alt-country vibe mixed in the usual style I hear in Canadian rock (I kept coming back to The Tragically Hip in my mind, though the vocal styles were nowhere close). The lyrics were very solid and there were some very rock-and-roll moments, such as four men holding their guitars aloft while punctuating the drumbeat with power chords.
I’d suggest some tracks to listen into, but hell if I know at this point. Give me a few weeks to get some material to review and then we’ll talk. Of course, if anyone out there has some recommendations, by all means….
