Weakerthans (@ Triple Rock Social Club)
I’ve been onto the Weakerthans for awhile. I’ve loved everything I’ve heard from them. Their lyrics probably prick at things I can only dream of touching in songwriting. Always cascading with analogies and feelings that you relate to too closely. They have a new album out (Reunion Tour) that is also good. They played a good mix of old and new stuff.
It was a packed house and I bought a limited ed. litho because it involves virtute the cat. It is framed in my hallway.
The sound was amazing and the dynamics were everything I wanted them to be.
And the band was glad to be there. I wasn’t sure if he enjoyed playing the stuff live as much as releasing it all in the studio, but he was there full-heartedly and smirking through the whole thing.
