Basically I think I sweated away 15 pounds at their show tonight. They rocked so hard. Also belting out the lyrics to "Working Full-Time," "Lizaveta" and "Nighttime/Anytime" was a blast.

Anyone else seen them or going to see them?

They're going to be at hillside in guelph! Yes, I got tickets!

A friend saw them at our campus bar last term, and couldn't stop going on about them, he bought the cd but said it wasn't as awesome as the live show. I thought the album was great, so I'm looking forwards to seeing them rock live!

These guys are amazing.  I've seen them a buncha times, and my band was lucky enough to play four shows with them last summer.  To say the least, it was a humbling experience.  They absolutely OWNED the Sub Pop CMJ showcase a few years ago.

I kind of just went to sleep right after I posted. OtterErotic, that is awesome, and I can see how it would be a little intimidating playing with them. Before they even started "Draw Us Lines" proper, they made the crowd raise their hands, and everyone did. We were pumped to, in fact.

The Constantines are one of those bands that does its damndest to unite the entire crowd, and their results were fantastic!

Dude they were at the Exchange on Thursday.

NOTE: I saw the drummer and the merch guy at Regina Beach yesterday. They appeared to be making a pit stop.

OK, well forum PM me or email me or something when awesome shows swing through Regina.  I dont pay enough attention to tour dates and have kinda settled with the notion that NO ONE worth seeing comes to regina.

I would have figured that the reverberations of awesomeness from the Constantines would be felt all through out Regina

Sadly no, my friendbase is largely metal, so they wouldnt even have heard of them.

They were in Winnipeg a few weeks ago, I of course an ultra-broke ass face didn't go, I've seen them once, opening for Foo Fighters last year, they were very good though the whole arena thing isn't really their thing.

Dallas Green covered Soon Enough at his show last night. It was the best song of his set.
