I'm seeing Islands tonight for $1

<< < (3/3)

Sounds great... I have to pass up on a chance to see them in Norman. Maybe I'll get lucky and they'll come back to OK sometime.

kablaaamo:
Sounds pretty awesome!

I saw them a few weeks ago (but for $14, not $1, boo) in Ottawa....and it was seriously one of the best shows that I've ever seen. They were supposed to have Malajube opening for them here but that got cancelled due to illness. I was so sad. Malajube is a favourite of mine too.

ANYWAYS THOUGH. The show here was supposedly the first of their current tour and as such.....they seemed really really into it and the show was much better for it. I was a bit afeared that they wouldn't do Where There's A Will There's A Whalebone (it's my favourite from Return to the Sea) because they didn't have either Busdriver or Subtitle with them......but! They did it. And they substituted a violin duel for the rap sections. Seriously. Watching Sebastian Chow jumping like a madman while playing the most face-meltingly awesome violin semi-solo EVER was one of the best things I've ever seen.

Um, yeah....and I think the sum total of every attractive person in this city was at that show. So that helped too.

In conclusion, Islands are forever.

Joseph:
I'm seeing them tommorrow, and I am now super-excited for it.  I've been listening to their album a lot to get pumped for the show, and it just gets better and better.  Can't wait to see how they preform.  Coonstar, Rubby, any other Vancouver folks, will you be there?
