The Joel Plaskett Emergency
w/ Two Hours Traffic and Machete Avenue
Call The Office - London, ON (Canada)
Friday, November 24, 2006
The opening act for the night was a local, London band, Machete Avenue. They re a two piece consisting of piano, and guitar and voice.
I can t say they re really my cup of tea, but I certainly think they will have no problems finding an audience. They seem poised to catch the hearts and ears of pretty much any dealing with puberty and high school aged girl. It s certainly something worthy of a deep (like the deep end) moment on the OC.
They ran through a short, opening set, got the night going.
Next on the evening was my little surprise. You see, when I found out Joel Plaskett was coming to town, and to such a great, small venue, I failed to do much (read: any) research as to who was coming-with.
In fact that was all bypassed when I went straight to the fist pumping, [/slash/] alerting my brothers and wife about the J-Diddy show. But imagine my surprise when my little brother, the evening of the show, let ole John know the opening act was none other than Two Hours Traffic. A band that I have already warned you about like a month ago with a review of their Isolator EP.
I told you. Go buy that, now. And thank me later.
Seriously? What s the delay? Get it dipshit!
Okay, so yah, here I was getting a double dose of two bands from the east coast of Canada, whom I happen to really be keen on. Two Hours Traffic did nothing but impress me for their entire set. They delivered all the songs I had grown to love, and even ones I didn t know yet.
And they were super tight, and seemed to really enjoy making and playing good rock. Stand outs on the evening were Better Sorry Than Safe and of course my favourite, Stuck for the Summer . Those boys from PEI, and now Toronto, are destined to win your hearts over with good straight up pop rock and roll.
