You Can’t Kill Something That’s Already Dead
We are pretty late updating this week, ryantheduke has been busy with school and I’m just not picking up the slack like last week. I took an impromptu trip to Ottawa on Friday to check out The Jimmy Swift Band at Mavericks. If you have ever heard of JSB, they are a jam band with a heavy mix house music. It was a good show for the 70 intense fans that showed. My footage was shit so I got nothing.
Since it was the Dukes sister’s Birthday weekend, my girlfriend and I chilled til Sunday so we could take in Wintersleep at Barrymore’s on Saturday night. Great show and great venue. If you are in Ottawa and have a chance to see this place, do it, even if Hedley are playing! Barrymore’s has a western showroom style with giant mirrors on each side, making it easy to see the band and giving the illusion that the venue is massive. Wintersleep has a great sound and Paul Murphy’s voice is very haunting. I’ve been listening to the new album, “Welcome To The Night Sky” for a couple of days now, the middle section has a some filler but the beginning and end are solid.
I got the track titles from Wintersleeps tour manager, so if you want to see (most) of the show just
03 Wintersleep - Archaeologists
04 Wintersleep - Dead Letter & The Infinite Yes
05 Wintersleep - Caliber
06 Wintersleep - Jaws of Life
07 Wintersleep - Faithful Guide
08 Wintersleep - Oblivion
09 Wintersleep - Search Party
10 Wintersleep - Weighty Ghost
11 Wintersleep - Murderer
