Crossed a few 'to-dos' off my list this week: seeing a band in back to back concerts. Check. Be able to tell identical twins apart. Check. Although, I crossed that off for the third time...well probably more like 2.5, but lets round that up. Tegan and Sara at Massey Hall, followed by *Drum roll please* (i bet you guessed who the band is because of my first 'to do', you genius, you...) Tegan and Sara at Kool Haus.
I think I would be happy going to sit in Massey Hall for an evening, just staring at the empty stage. It is pure magic. Add a little Tegan and Sara into the mix and it brings life to a whole other level. Its like the day I discovered the lint brush - a moment that once you know it, its hard to know how you did without. Despite that the front audience was a little lame-o and not as 'into it' as one should be at a rock show*, T&S were performing their guts out. If the music wasn't enough to keep you entertained (then imma smack you) the band chanter was certainly enough to keep you going all night. At one point, Tegan joked that “being a teenager is hard, but being an eight-year-old lesbian is even harder.”
Anywhoo, round two proved to be more of a rock show at the Kool Haus. At one point they stopped playing, asked the house lights to come up and pointed out the drunkest person in the crowd who was being a huge dick, and asked him to be escorted out. Oh Tom Foolery...what a guy. When he's around, its always a show.
*maybe thats because everyone always feels a tad more proper at Massey.
The show stealers for me:
