Nobody Knows Me and Nobody Gives A Damn
Moving to Ottawa just justified itself as I got to go see Wolf Parade last night. The ticket was a bit pricey, but basically Wolf Parade will have been the favouritest band of mine that I’ve seen live now, if that makes any sense. Mrs. M. had to go to work early this morning, so I was the loser there all by myself, but whatever.
Another Montreal band called The Witchies opened. They were pretty good! They don’t have a CD or anything out, I guess, which is too bad because I would have got one from the merch table but I’ll just keep my eye out in the meantime.
The Witchies played a pretty short set, but Wolf Parade played the new album in its entirety and almost all of Apologies To The Queen Mary. Everything sounded a bit more punched up live, and I think that the songs from In Mount Zoomer especially benefitted from the more energetic performances. The songs sounded a bit less flat than the album versions, but what do I know?
As a bonus, on the way down I noticed some posters advertising Handsome Furs later on this month, and according to this flyer they handed me on the way out, Mount Eerie is coming in Octoboer, among other miscellanous interesting acts.
