The Silver Hearts were on FIRE last night at The Dakota! I have always loved the band and knew what they are capable of, but even still they far exceeded my expectations last night. I guess my expectations were low because they have been relatively inactive over the past several years - but you wouldn't have guessed that at last night's show. There were 8 or 9 on stage, cranking out all of the old hits with a focus on the higher-energy rag songs (less so on the instrumental epics). Such a great band not only to hear but also to WATCH, and some hilarious stage banter. The audience was chalk full of ex-Peterborough folk of course, just like a good Wednesday night at the MoHo 5+ years ago. High energy all around, and a big crowd (for an early show that cost $15, worth double that though). The potential for success, which this band has always had, is there more than ever - I hope the will is there to make a run at it, or at least keep on gigging locally, as last night's crowd would certainly love some more!

I'm going to keep acting belligerent until they friggin' play somewhere closer to Ottawa (though I'm very proud for them for the Japan gig they landed). Miss these folks.
