Horse Feathers, Brown Bird, May 1st, Cafe Dekcuf, Ottawa

[edger]

Noticed the following was posted in the Ottawa events listing section. A ways away, but I had meant to comment on Brown Bird earlier. They recently opened for Devil Makes Three in Toronto. I knew nothing about them. But they were so, so good. Extremely talented instrumentalists, great, dark harmonies. If you love stand-up base, fiddle, etc without a conventional blue-grass sound you should definitely check them out.

Devil Makes Three were great too. But the crowd ruined it for me. I've got nothing against punks per se, but moshing, crowd surfing, head busting, pushing and blood in a venue like The Horseshoe is definitely not my cup of tea. The band certainly didn't appreciate the disrespect either between getting hit in the face with their own mics and being flipped off by people in the audience. Not sure if they'll return after that debacle which is a damn shame.

But Brown Bird mentioned they were returning with Horse Feathers to Toronto and Ottawa. They deserve some love.
