Dark Side of the Hill
Short reviews of the Exclaim! 13th Anniversary Cross-Canada Concert Series' Ottawa stop:
Montag: Imagine one guy, two keyboards, a violin, some windchimes, and a couple of guest vocalists. Montreal's answer to The Russian Futurists? His fast stuff was much better than his slow.
Wooden Stars: Sorry guys, I know you've been on the Ottawa scene for quite some time now. But I thought you were almost instantly forgettable.
The Organ: What an amazingly tight set. Almost CD-perfect. Too bad you all had death-scowls through most of the show, it just didn't do it for me. I guess it's the indie-rock thing to do. But I like my live acts personable-like.
Stars: Always amazing, always entertaining. They have a way of playing a show like they're playing it just for you in your living room and they're your best friends. Mix that with some incredible songs, a little bit of comedy, and voila! Perfect show every time.

Oh the organ, they remind me of a band that christy would conceive of. Except christy would have more fun with it.
I agree 100%. Seriously, they looked like the stage was the last place in the world they wanted to be that evening, like stiff, surly, indie-rock robots.
You should have taken two steps to the left. Then that light post wouldn't have been in your frame, and the picture would have had a different mood.
I like the lightpost! That's why I took the shot!
I like the post as well.But without it, it could have looked like a European Castle. You know something "gothic". The light post is a dead giveaway that it is modern.
I see what you mean. Hey hey! There's always photoshop and the ever-useful cropping tool....
