Just went to the Stars concert! I'm quite impressed by the Thurston Revival. I agree they weren't zomg stirring, but they're intriguing nonetheless. Even bought their EP. Haven't listened to it yet though.
I'm quite surprised by how good they were. I've always thought that Torquil would be all annoying and obnoxious and shit but somehow he's just so interesting in a live setting. Hahahaha and right before they played "He Lied About Death", he started yelling
DID YOU GUYS ALL VOTE?
Audience: ?
DID YOU GUYS ALL VOTE
Audience (being their typical selves): FUCK YEAH
Well then, WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED?
Hahaha way to hate on our current no-longer prime minister designate. I guess he seemed to forget that you know, it being all ages the great majority can't vote. I can't vote! But I volunteered for the Greens and went to their rallies and shit but does my vote still count? No! Because I'm not entitled to one!
Another answer to that is also:
PLURALITY VOTING SYSTEM.
Yes.
Back to the show. Yeah. I don't know who's worse when it comes to dancing, Amy Millan or Emily Haines. I kinda want to say Emily but Amy just looks so awkward. But oh man. They were great. Great lighting too, on the beginning of Big Fight a spotlight on the speak would beam to existence right on cue when they sang their part and everything.
Torquil apparently also doesn't like hipsters, or he's just sucking up to the all ages crew.
(approximate quote) "Yeah. It's great playing to all you kids, rather than some half drunk crazy hipsters on a corner."
**points to guy at front**
"That half drunk crazy hipster over there is so far gone, he's even saying "Fuck Yeah! Fuck those fucking half drunk crazy hipsters." "
I find that it's a moot point because a lot of 15 year olds are crazy hipsters nowadays
Not sure about the half drunk part.
My friend took videos. I may have access to them soon, PM me if you're interested =D
