DevO Posted December 17, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Has anyone had a chance to see this tour? Would love to hear some thoughts on how it went.. I had to bail out on my tickets for my family's Xmas party in the Hammer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shitidiot Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 (edited) I saw the show last night at the Mo Ho. kick ass rock n roll. the band looked relaxed and confortable. everyone having fun. Lots of old classics and new favorites. The Con's could be my favorite live band these days. It's like a modern day cross between Bruce Springsteen and The Clash.

Prost Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 Agreed! I saw them last week at The Casbah in the Hammer, and man did they blow me away! They absolutely rocked. I haven't seen them since 2004/2005? and now I remember why I love this band. They played a great mix of old and new tunes. Highlights for me were 'Young Offenders', 'Sub-Domestic', and the always raging Nighttime, Anytime, It's Alright! FIRE IT UP!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MK Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 Looking forward to Friday night's show in London. I talked to Bryan Webb on the phone yesterday for a bit. The conversation didn't get very far before his cell died...turned what I got into a podcast: check it out here not much of interest unless you're from London.

AD Posted December 18, 2009 Report Share Posted December 18, 2009 Julie Doiron is playing tonight too Scottie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottieking Posted December 19, 2009 Report Share Posted December 19, 2009 And she was awesome! Holy Moley, the two guys she's got playing with her right now are sonic. She played a tune with the Constantines too.Ladyhawk, despite being usually a winner live, had a great start, threw out some new stuff that wasn't very road tested yet but good, and finished with a song from the EP. Overall, the band looked road weary and pissy but I would always recommend to take the chance on seeing them.And the Constantines, well, are truly ascendant. The songs familiar, but the style in which they are presented are ever changing, tight, and always through the roof with energy. Not discourage attendance from the other great band playing in T.O. tonight, but to miss this band right now would be to miss what I believe to be the best touring band in Canada today.
