"music is the language of us all"
recognize?
yes. the cat empire. an australian band i had never had chance to hear before i came to canada. well, that is probably only because you did not have an australian co-year. never heard of them either? i think you should. i send you to the source then to make you more knowledgeable. yes, it is wiki. whateva.
anyhow, yesterday we went to their concert. tickets were sort of expensive, but. but we said fuck that. and i am happy we did, cause it was one of the best live shows i have seen in my life. the venue in words of peter's brother "not too big, not too small. just in the size of montreal" was really like that. just perfect. crowdy, but very personal at the same time. we were just by the stage...
the support was already good, you know what is a good sign, cause they usually make the support crap to give a contrast to the actual concert. the australians came on the stage around 22:30 and stayed there for like 2 hours on high positive energy. what these six guys do is just the higher art. i swear. making such music, combining styles, generes and instruments one has to be so bloody talented and devoted. and again, one should recognize the quality of the music only by the quality of concert recordings. these guys were simply stunning.
