Glen surprized me with tickets on the day of show and I was really excited. Of course I we couldn't leave until AFTER the results show of Rockstar Supernova.
Karl Wallinger is pretty much World Party, but he was touring with a 7 piece band! (As an aiside, I only took a couple of photos and yes they actually are different!)
They opened with my favourite song, Message In A Box, and closed the show with my second favourite song, Ship Of Fools but somewhere in the middle of the set an onstage collision took out the bass and effectively put a stop to any of the momentum that had been building. Thankfully, Karl is very chatty and during the long pauses of attempted repairs, told some interesting stories. In one story he told of his first trip to BC where they were playing a festival with Midnight Oil. There plane landed late, and they got on the bus and drove two hours and when they got to the hotel, they crashed. In the morning when he awoke he went to the window and opened the curtains and was greeted with a sparkling vista of trees, mountains and a lake and he said his first thought was that it was a photo.
Anyway, it was still an okay show and I was happy to hear all those songs, and to see so many people there.
Back to Rockstar Supernova. I loved Rockstar INXS too, so I can safely say I'm not just watching for Barb's sake. When I was at SXSW Barb was trying to get one of her artists to Vancouver to audition for Rockstar. That artist turned out to be one of the top contenders, Lukas Rossi. He and Dilana are my two favourites so when I saw this, I had to share it with everyone.
