  1. Top picks for CMW?

    in Soundboard

    Posted

    I'm 99.9% sure the Barr Brothers set at Czehoski sold out. My buddy at Live Nation said he grabbed the last ticket about a week ago, but maybe they've released more or will let you in at the door? Might be worth calling ahead. Just a heads up.

  4. The Barr Brothers Short Show Review

    in Soundboard

    Posted · Edited by Guest

    Here's a bit of a review from the show last night (real one to come tomorrow on blogTO)

    The show was at the Dakota Tavern which is an amazing and small place to see a rock show in Toronto. It's a tiny little basement saloon, with a barely elevated stage. I was speaking with Brad before the show and asked him if he's ever been here before and he said no. I told him maybe they should play more of their rockier stuff because it probably wouldn't be quiet and he said they were going to adjust the setlist. He also told me Andrew isn't playing with Land of Talk anymore...I also requested they play "Kisses from Chelsea" (which they did). So the Barr Brothers took stage at about 2 am - ish to a fairly packed Dakota Tavern.

    Setlist:

    Beggar in the Morning (some sound issues on this one)

    Give the Devil Back His Heart

    Kisses From Chelsea

    Lord, I Just Can't Keep From Cryin'

    Deacon's Son

    Cloud (a much more aggressive version than they typically play)

    Encore:

    If You Leave Me

    In the end it was a really solid show from the gang. They got a huge reaction from the crowd at the end of the set, and it turn's out Kevin Drew (of Broken Social Scene) and a few other guys from BSS were in the audience and congratulated and shot the shit with The Barr Brothers at the end of the show. Pretty cool considering it's Canadian Music Fest and there was like 50 shows last night to see the BSS guys out to support the Barrs.

    Photos and a real review to come tomorrow, I'll post links.

    Can't wait to see the guys tomorrow night in what's sure to be a quieter atmosphere (seeing them at a restaurant that holds probably 40 people max)

  9. Things to do in Halifax?

    Splitcrow on a Sunday is a wild time, perhaps a bit too overwhelming for some. Very cheap beer (like $1/beer) and some live music. Big University scene. A shit-show in short. Also, it's a early afternoon thing.

  12. RC: Low Anthem/Barr Brothers at Great Hall March 2

    They have a bunch of new material, they played a much more adventurous set the next night in Montreal. I guess they wanted to hit Toronto with some of their better rehearsed stuff seeing as how they haven't played here in about a year. They probably felt more comfortable testing out newer material in their hometown of Montreal. Maybe they'll play some of the newer stuff (which is great) at the Dakota on Thursday.

    I'm particularly fond of this new song:

    Went to Market (tentative title)

    Definitely agree about the drumming. Jeff was certainly hitting hard. He should take some notes from Andrew Barr who seems to have mastered the art of delicate percussion.

    While The Barr Brothers set may not have been all that adventurous in regards to what they have and can do (and what I've seen them do) they still continue to amaze and astound me every time I see them. Most interesting musicians on the scene (for me at least). I hope Brad and Andrew never sit still....

  16. RC: Low Anthem/Barr Brothers at Great Hall March 2

    There will be a full review posted on blogTO tomorrow. I'll provide links when it's live. Setlist looked something like this, I think I could be missing a few songs and I'm not 100% where Love and Alter fell in the set.

    Ghost Woman Blues

    Sally, Where'd You Get Your Liquor From?

    Burn

    Apothecary Love

    Hey All You Hippies!

    Matter of Time

    Ticket Taker

    Home I'll Never Be (slowed version)

    Ohio Blues (cover)

    Love and Alter

    Encore:

    Smart Flesh

    Charlie Darwin

    Barr Brothers CMF details:

    They'll be playing the Dakota Tavern this coming Thursday @ 2am and The Czehoski a week this Saturday @ 10pm. Not 100% sure those times are correct as they made a change on the time in the header of the FB event but not in the body...typical Barr Brothers lack of organization

    Last night's show was pretty great. A little disappointed the Barrs only played for like 35 minutes, but what can you do, they're here twice next week. The Low Anthem was awesome, as per usual. They've certainly eclipsed their friends, but I think that's largely because they have good mgmt, pr, marketing skills whereas the Barr Brothers have basically none and never try to. All of my buddies left saying they enjoyed the barrs a lot more. My review of the show is going to be up on blogTO tomorrow. I'm also covering The Barr Brothers twice during CMW so there will be two nice reviews of them with lots of pics to come.

    Barr Brothers setlist:

    Old Mythologies

    Deacon's Son

    Let There Be Horses

    Lord, I Just Can't Keep From Cryin'

    Beggar in the Morning

    Soundcheck:

    Give the Devil Back His Heart

    Kisses from Chelsea (tentative title)

    Went to Market (tentative title)

    there was probably more but this is all I heard

  20. The Hangover - great movie!

    The fact that it takes place in Bangkok means it will live up to the hype. Bangkok is the most lawless place in South East Asia. You better believe there will be a 'ping-pong' scene in Hangover 2, for those of you who don't know what a ping-pong show is, Google it and prepare to be shocked and appalled. I caught one this summer while in Thailand and it's pretty mental.

  22. NYC - March 3-6 - Trip Ideas?

    in Soundboard

    Posted

    go to Brooklyn Bowl - it's the shit

    also go to Shake Shack in Madison Square Park for amazing burgers which you get to eat outdoors (plenty of heating lamps no worries)

    ...just keep eating, food is the best thing about nyc.

    oh, the highline park in the meat packing district is also really cool, there's a really wicked beer hall right below the central part of it with tons of ping pong tables and just a really cool vibe.
