I was at that show too. $35 to see 54-40!?!?!?! If I wasn't hammered and looking to vulture some college girls, I'd never have paid it. The owner/operators of The Kee are out of control. Ticket prices have doubled in the last two years. Sloan played there a couple of weeks ago ... tickets were $45!! good band but c'mon ... we're talking about a 2 hr bar gig here. What's next? $50 for Glass Tiger? I'm whining a lot for a guy who spends most of his dough on booze ... but it's the principle of it don't ya know ...

Saw a great band last Sat at the cozo in TO ... Spacious Couch from Vancouver. Intimate show to say the least (nobody showed up). It was their first time in TO so I guess that's understandable. I'd say they're Jazz/Latin/Funk influenced. A comparable band/line up would be One Step Beyond. Incredibly solid players (first time I've seen a band at the cozo who were reading from charts!). A couple of time changes tripped up a few of the dancing cozo cave denizens .. oh well ... adapt man. The line up consists of two sax players, guitar, drums, bass and latin percussion. The sax players were exchanging some serious licks. The tenor/baritone/flute player was running his instruments through effects ... a tenor sax solo through a screaming wahwah pedal ... wild. The LP player was awesome. He pulled off a 10 minute solo that had all 15 of us slack jawed. The rhythm section and guitar player rocked too.

I think they're back in September (not sure of the venue). I've paid 3 times as much to see bands that weren't half as good. Check them out ... you won't regret it.
