Brand New and Moneen
June 29th, 2009

I’ve been waiting a very long time to be able to see one of my favourte bands Brand New play. On Saturday night I got to do just that. I was also given the treat of seeing Moneen play. A Canadian band that I found whilst working at A&B Sound in Calgary. I was over the moon that they supported Brand New.

What finished Brand New‘s face melting set off beautifully was the final song. Jesse Lacey, on stage on his own, performed a cover by Neutral Milk Hotel entitled “Oh Comely”. It was a great ending to an immense show. I’m looking forward to their new album.

Thursday at Give It A Name
April 20th, 2009

I managed to somehow get a ticket to Give It A Name at the last minute on Sunday and got to go and see see two of my favourite bands, Thursday and Taking Back Sunday. Taking Back Sunday were as good as they always are but I was blown away by Thursday, and although they only played about 6 songs, it was enough. They stole the show. I’m looking forward to them coming back over here so I can see a full set.

They totally showed the rest of the bands how it is done.
