El Picador Posted November 16, 2013 Share Posted November 16, 2013 The Besnard LakesElephant Stone Both bands were good. Its too bad there were only like 20 people in the room at any one time, including members of the two other bands that were playing and their friends. On occasions like this, which seem to happen more frequently of late, it can feel like watching a rehearsal more than a full on performance. I can only imagine the feeling of having to get on stage and perform the *same* songs and playing more out of obligation than desire. I found myself imagining what The Besnard Lakes performance, with the lights and the smoke machines and the tripped out vocals and guitars, would be like if played to a packed house. We stayed nearly till the end, but it got to be about 1am and my pregnant wife was already falling asleep in her seat tucked away at the back of the room. I had a fun time...but still left wondering.

RaspberryJam Posted November 17, 2013 Share Posted November 17, 2013 are broadway dancers / singers 'filled in' or are they actually singing?Good question, I really don't know, do you? Broadway shows really aren't my thing, but when I saw Fela!, it seemed that is could have been filled in. The band was playing live. I could be wrong. I really have no idea Link to post Share on other sites

She was there last night too, but it's too early for the internet to ahve any reviews it seems. There are some pictures of her in hotpants and fishnets. Not her best look and not appropriate for church :-) Link to post Share on other sites
