Elliott Brood @ The Slice

:dance :dance

 

I've seen EB about 5 times in the last year, the first time being when they opened up for Wilco in Calgary. That's

when I fell in LOVE with them! I'm usually pretty self-conscious when dancing, and don't really bust out. But last

night the entire place was up dancing, singing along, buying the guys shots of whiskey, audience members taking

turns playing the tambourine!! It was a blast. I really love Mark(c?)'s voice and his wicked ass ukulele playing!!

Casey always gets the audience into it, screaming at random points during songs...heehee. I love watching Steve

and his suitcase drum kit. A tradition seemed to continue last night when Mark had to excuse himself and go puke

all of that whiskey out of him. All of the times I've seen EB, he seems to not be able to down as much booze

as the other two guys.

 

The show was over at about 2:00am. They played for at least 2 hours, maybe a little more. They played two new songs,

one was an instrumental tune which they opened with and it really got the place jumping. I kind of forget what the other

one was like, but it did have some lyrics in it. They played pretty much all of the songs from Ambassador, a couple from

their EP, and then a couple of covers. It was really a great time!!! I'm so glad they like Lethbridge, for whatever reason!

 

They play again tonight. I might go, but I have to work at 6:00am the next morning for 12 hours in the hot hot heat, so that

could be really tough. We'll see. If you have a chance, definitely put on your dancing shoes and go check out Elliott Brood!!!
