The Hip in Hamilton...

Recommended Posts

I'm exhausted from the show last night. Had a great time. Parked the car, lost 2 dubies somehow!! (FUCK ... only users lose drugs) Good my buddy had backup :)

No lineup to get in ... biggest lineup was for beers ... Buck65 playing in the background and they blew chunks. No lineups in the bathrooms, and a civilized smoking "patio" where there was more herb being smoked than cigarettes . Security almost non-existent in the venue. DIdn't bother anyone around us and everyone was happy. A few super drunk chicks behind us, but at least they didn't puke :P

Hip came on and rocked the house solid. Gordie was more "out there" than usual, but in a good way. I heard it was Gordie's bday. He was dancin' and rantin' the whole night. Worked a little Fleetwood Mac and Police vocals into a few jams. Fiddler's Green and 100th Meridian were big highlights for me.

Here are some pics from last night's show (no idea who took 'em)

I'm really looking forward to seeing them at the Town Ballroom next month and enjoyin' the Hip in a SMALL venue again.

Later . . .

excellent review of the background music. "They" is mostly a "He" (sometimes with his wife).

LOL .. true. I did see 2 people on stage. I didn't think that one was female, but i was more concerned about the beer line we were in at the time .

Nice!

Yup, nice little Hamilton reference with the Teenage Head.

"I really like their new tune "Rink""

Yup, another rockin' tune from the Hip with all the hockey references. Here's a fun video of the song with clips of goalies doin their job at the lonely end.

Lonely End of the Rink

I looked up and you were there

just sitting there all alone

holding your fist in the air

like, if you need me you’re on your own

You drove me home through a snowy tomb

I fell asleep in my seat

I had the dream of having no room

you were there just staring at me

At the lonely end of the rink, you and me

At the lonely end of the rink, you and me

Oh to join the rush

as the season builds

I hear your voice ‘cross a frozen lake

a voice from the end of a leaf

saying, ‘you won’t die of a thousand fakes

or be beaten by the sweetest of dekes’

At the lonely end of the rink, you and me

At the lonely end of the rink, you and me

At the lonely end of the rink, you and me

At the lonely end of the rink, the lonely end

of the rink

Oh to join the rush

as the season builds

Jump into the rush

as the seasons build

You drove me home through a snowy gloom

and I fell asleep in my seat

then I had the dream of having no room

you were there just staring at me

At the lonely end of the rink, you and me

At the lonely end of the rink, you and me

At the lonely end of the rink, you and me

At the lonely end of the rink, the lonely end

of the rink.

saw Buck 65 on Canada Day. plain awful (but so were some of the other acts that shared that bill including K'naan and Kinnie Star at least IMNSHO) . I just don't get what the deal is. He lives in France (a meaningless fact I just threw in). I've heard him interviewed on the CBC various times.

Teenage Head - very cool. They seem to be doing these one-off covers during the encores on this tour.
