We spent last night in Guelph - our all time favourite destination for out of town shows - playing at Kazoo Fest. We played at
Synnema which at first glance seems to be a questionable venue for live music, nestled in a basement between a Muay Thai gym and a Young Drivers of Canada office. But the place turned out to be excellent (you can't argue with nice people and free beers!). We were slated to go on first at 8:00, and were anticipating playing to an empty bar. But we frequently forget how shows in Guelph are different from those in Toronto - in Guelph, people come early and leave late. Thanks to everyone for coming!
Following us were great sets by
Tasseomancy (check out the song "Healthy Hands Will Mourn You" - the live version was fantastic) and
Wax Mannequin - who was amazing! We'd never seen him live before and the performance was completely mind blowing. Above is a picture from his set after a giant body bag of balloons was released into the audience.
Driving back to Toronto today in an April blizzard was a great way to cap off the weekend too! Here's hoping for summer and more shows with great bands!
