zero Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Hey I've got some great pics up on my facebook (Luke Bowden- friend me if we're not already) I'd love it if some of you checked them out. Bouche already tagged himself in a great shot of Brad, Andrew and Sarah leaving the stage with Mike with a shit eating grin on his face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Oh, and special thanks to zero for the take-out home-made quiche. I had it with lunch yesterday, and it was delicious. :thumbup:Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ms.Huxtable Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 What a fantastic night, except I kept looking around for Velvet and he wasn't there. Holy packed batman! The Blacksheep was hot and insane! I have never seen it even close to being that full before. Everyone was sin good spirits. Barr Brothers opening was amazing. So many times I overheard people saying "I can't believe it's only two guys and a harp up there, the sound is so full." They weren't kidding. Great, great set. That was my first Plants and Animals experience and though I could barely see the stage (at the Blacksheep! A place that's usually so intimate? I know!) Everything I heard was fan-bloody-tastic. Great talents and great songs. I do love me some Eric Warren. Mmmm mmmm mmm! Thanks Lynners! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blurasis Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Just occurred to me that they didn't sing Lola Who?That is such a great song to hear live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 (edited) No, I'm the Luke Bowden from Toronto.Great seeing all of you. Andrew and Brad were in super great spirits (although the thimblefulls of Jamieson's by the van periodically certainly added to the jubilance, theirs and Plants and Animals beer rider didn't hurt either). This is going to be an unbelievably great configuration for them.And yes I'm glad you loved the quiche Brad, thanks so much for you and Zaid getting us down. For the culinary set it was a quiche with a base of candied sweet potatoes covered with the egg, cream mixture (accented by fresh thyme, sea salt, cracked black pepper, basil and oregano), then a layer of curried roasted peaches and cream corn sauteed with leeks, topped with a layer of zucchini slices and double brie on top. So dope quiche.And yes I think you're right Sharon that they made a lot of new fans in the Plants and Animals set. People were definitely into it.

flipzoso Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 ^ I gotta get me some more of that next time you are in town Luke. Had a great night as well. Tell Kate I enjoye her company (the letsmockLuke'phrenia included). Yeah Ming, I was surprised they didn't play Lola Who, A L'oree des bois, and New Kind of Love.I saw them last night at University of Ottawa, free outdoor show but the environment was uhhh 101 week silly stuff, so...yeah. The band was great though. I asked Nick about that setlist and he told me they had planned New Kind of Love and maybe some others but when everyone got up they launched Guru/Sinnerman but they weren't intially planning on playing it.

zero Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 letsmockLuke'phreniaWelcome to the scene Zaid (and Kate and I both found you to be an able and upright young man) but I think you will find, perhaps not surprisingly, that letsmockLuke'phrenia is a fairly common occurence in person, internet and such (at least in these, well, in most parts).And congrats on busting your quiche hymen!

Northern Wish Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 AWESOME!The first time I saw P+A about two years ago, I emailed DaveO about checking them out- and as fate would have it the only comparison I could come up with was that they reminded me of The Slip....

AD Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 i *think* that wicked blues tune the Barrs played was an old Blues Project tune. That was smokin'.06.I Can't Keep From Crying, Sometimesoops. well, i was close. that song is a 10 Years After tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Esau. Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 (edited) oops. well, i was close. that song is a 10 Years After tune.Actually, I believe Blind Willie Johnson wrote the orginal version (Lord, I can't keep from cryin' sometimes), and then Al Kooper wrote the version that Ten Years After plays. So, you were correct the first time. I have a album called Whats shakin' and that track is on it, performed by Paul Butterfield Blues Band (Al Kooper playing with them) its from 66, so around the same time Al Kooper was playing with Blues Project.

Booche Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 .....and a radiant Douglas.....Fuck, eh? Brings me to my knees........I hate admitting I missed you dicksmack but I would have loved seeing Plants And Animals more. Hope you kids either bought Parc Avenue or buy it in the near future. And yes. Plants And Animals better become the new Slip. I'm really happy a number of folks were able to make it out to this. Good on ya'll. zero, I hit your facebook pics, a few great perspectives on your shots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northern Wish Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 In addition to Parc Avenue, they also have a 5 song e.p. that came out prior to PA.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bouche Posted September 9, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 Plants And Animals better become the new Slip. How is that even possible? Granted, they are a very good and rocking three piece, but they have nowhere near the level of skill or talent as The Slip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jakis Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 Parc Avenue is better than any album the slip ever put out or could think of making. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zero Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 That's a debatable statement at best albeit the Slip haven't translated to album particularly well. I'd agree more with the fact that Plants and Animals captures the zeitgeist of a certain moment in Canadian independent music more fully than the Slip have been able to in the broader American market.

zero Posted September 11, 2009 Report Share Posted September 11, 2009 As biased as I am and as skilled as P&A are it was glaringly evident that they don't have nearly the musical education or range and that their definitive mode is rocking out with their cocks out. While that is a strong point for the Slip they also manage to break hearts and make hearts in a way that I just don't get from P&A (barring say a handful of songs).
