bouche Posted November 27, 2008 Report Share Posted November 27, 2008 (edited) WIN A PAIR OF TICKETS TO SEE... THE TREWS WITH SPECIAL GUEST MOBILE THURSDAY, DECEMBER 18, 2008 THE PHOENIX CONCERT THEATRE - TORONTO Doors 8:00pm Show 9:00pm Tickets on sale Friday, November 21 @ 10am Tickets available at all Ticketmaster outlets and Rotate This Charge by phone at 416.870.8000 Order online at or www.ticketmaster.ca Tickets (incl. GST) $21.02; General Admission, All Ages FMF and applicable service charges extra You can hear it in the first four bars of the album. A meaty, beaty, big and bouncy drum fill, followed by a glistening guitar line that could have been ripped from an old Rockpile album, and a breathy Hammond B3 so beautifully captured that it seems to conjure the dimensions of the room it sits in. It’s huge, but intimate. Heavy, but airborne. And the hook is strong enough that you could hang a whale from it. The Trews’ reputation is built on buffed and visceral rock songs, but on No Time for Later they cohere like never before. The structures are more compelling, the playing is more articulate, and the results more nourishing. If it’s the shrewd marriage of new and classic rock that accounts for the Trews’ remarkable multi-generational appeal – meaning they’re as welcome on MuchMusic as they are inside the pages of the UK’s Classic Rock magazine – then No Time for Later finds the band expanding at both ends of the spectrum. In total, No Time for Later represents a major graduation for the band, right down to the Ralph Steadman-by-way-of-Warhol cover art designed by Syperek. Incredibly, it was the counter-intuitive approach of producers Gus Van Go and Werner F that the Trews credit for the breakthrough. The first thing the team did was take one of the best live rock acts on the planet, break it down to its constituent parts, and record each member separately in a painstaking exercise that band only half-jokingly describes as “our Rumours.†For more information on The Trews and their album No Time For Later, please visit thetrewsmusic.com. Come celebrate with The Trews at the Phoenix Concert Theatre on Thursday, December 18th part of The Edge Electric Christmas series!
