so friday night rolls around and were in the opening slot at the "shoe" not idealy where we want to be but we accepted this with some trepidation ....the problem with an opening slot is that although it was an equally billed show some people might get the impression that we are new or we suck or something like that and some times its tough to get people out to these early shows.........with all that being the said mountains were again made over mole hills by yours truly @945 we took the stage and the place was full now we hadnt played in the toronto area for awhile but shit this was way better than i thought it might be so firtsly thanks so much for coming we were overwhelmed by the turn out and secondly thanks for being such a great crowd lively in fact rowdy at some points....the transfer of energy in that room was brilliant we were definitly feeling the flow and based on crowd feedback our new songs went over well bottom line a big crowd = a good show for us we all agreed that was probably our most fun and energetic show to date....n ow then this to be adressed after we finiished our last tune the chants started coming in for an encore big time which was fucking great and i must say i was torn on whether to do another tune being that we were in the opening slot its never the best etiquette to do this...so in those 30 to 45 seconds in which we decided to do it i asked the guy at the side of the stage who believed to be the bass player of the next band if it was cool and he said yes this coupled with the fact that you have to give the audience what they want was the game breaker so we did and hopefully it didnt piss off the other bands too much i hope they understood if not oh well wedont play for other musicians we play to the fans....so thanks again!!!!!!!!!!!
