Indieweek ‘08 cont’d…
“Dats… the bhoys.. now!!”
The Irish Showcase was last night and as soon as the Danny at the Hideout started taking out the “plank” with the whiskey shots on it, you knew it was going to be a seriously crazy night. The night was a great success, with Maslow, Walter Mitty and the Realists and Fred all putting in absolutely storming sets. I have video footage of each band that I’ll put online when we get home.
For us, Vesta Varro, to get the reaction we got was fantastic. Maybe it was to do with the free bottles of Jager that were also being handed around, but for me it was one of the most enjoyable gigs I’ve ever played. With a guest appearance from Connor from “The Mitty” on egg shaker and vocals, the vibe and buzz there last night was amazing. A serious thank you to everyone who came out to support us and the rest of the bands, definitely making our 4th time here one of the most memorable.
Our show in the Rivoli for Moove.ca on Thursday was another great night, with some great music and a serious amount of cash was raised for the Farm Sanctuary, it was a show that we were delighted to be involved in. Thank you Yvette for having us.
Following that, it was another late night at the Rok Boutique with Dawn, Tracy and co, who have helped us stay in the stereotypical “Irish Lads on Tour” mode for much of the duration of this trip.
Tonight for Vesta Varro it’s an interview and live session on The Edge radio station, one of the biggest rock stations in Canada, so to say we’re enjoying our trip would be a bit of an understatement!
That’s all for now… back to bed for an hour!
