The New Pornographers w/ Okkervil River - 2008-04-09 The Phoenix - Toronto, ON

dcaley — Thu, 10 Apr 2008 12:59:48 +0000

“No photography, No Audio, No Video”. The signs were posted just before the doors opened which sucked since Okkervil River are totally cool with taping and according to The New Porno’s management, they have no strict rules about it. Oh well. I only stayed (and went?) for Okkervil River. It’s too bad they were not in town on their own tour. They played a great set though. The sound was ok and the crowd was pretty big. Although it seemed to be more of a NP’s crowd. Anyways, here’s hoping for OR to return soon and play at a better venue, maybe The Music Hall.

Okkervil River’s setlist:
01 The President’s Dead
02 Black
03 A Hand To Take Hold Of The Scene
04 The Latest Toughs
05 A Girl In Port
06 Plus Ones
07 A Stone
08 It Ends With A Fall
09 John Allyn Smith Sails
10 Our Life Is Not A Movie Or Maybe
11 For Real
12 Unless It Kicks

Chart CMW Showcase - 2008-03-06 Horseshoe Tavern - Toronto, ON

dcaley — Sun, 09 Mar 2008 19:58:52 +0000

I made it out to the Chart Canadian Music Week showcase Thursday night. Immaculate Machine, Dog Day, Katie Stelmanis, Plants & Animals, and The Acorn, Sun Parlour Players, and Oh No Forest Fires were all on the bill. 7 bands for $9, cant beat that. I didnt stay for the last two acts as it was already 1am and had work in the morning. I really enjoyed all 5 performances. Im not sure if the show was soldout, but it was pretty packed. The room sounded great too. Go checkout these fine Canadian artists when they hit your city. You wont be disappointed.

01 Wo Xiang Tanbai
02 C’mon Sea Legs
03 Broken Ship
04 Wont Be Pretty
05 Nothing Ever Happens In My Town
