Forgot to blog about the above-average concert caught on Thursday
night - The mid-West baberiffic The Icicles were my highlight, though
unfortunately the Tranzac was pretty empty - all the Torontonians
stayed home until it wasthisclose to the Hylozoists' set.
Damn, what to say about the Icicles - mosey over to Frank's
chromewaves.net site for some beauty photos….(as always) + all your
other Over the Top Fest image-needs…they were rougher around the
edges than the Pipettes but not grungy like cub….like the P's, they
had an intense attention to eye-catching costume detail,
charming/flirty banter and catchy melodies….
Amanda tells me they scored an ad s/t for Moto, so hopefully more
licencing deals'll finance trips North soon….some of the Casper set
was okay - not goosebump-y or mind-blowing…
…and Hylozoists were good - tighter and less jammy than I remembered
from last time…fun act to see live for the instrument melange, the
switching around, the amazing chemistry the members have with each
other despite the fact that the H's are an all-star pastiche of more
prominent TO acts….
….Yesterday was a complete write-off - today is dedicated to
errands, cleaning + the overhead of life….and, um, Friday was
Robyn-eriffic - can't wait to go out with the PS crew again - patio
season brings big tings…still haven't done Caddy Lounge, Black Bull,
etc., etc….
Saw an ad for cancer bats @ the opera house the first week ( I think?)
of June…where my screamo peeps at?? Pretty sure this'll sell out so
heads up…Feist is creeping up (special tingles!) Will post an
updated gig wish list that's living on the MOG site somewhere when I
remember…..
It's Dufferin Mall time - peace!
