Two Hours Traffic at the Railway Club - March 8, 2008

Two Hours Traffic are my favourite new band. Not just Canadian band, but favourite new band period.
Liam Corcoran

Their new album Little Jabs has rarely been on constant rotation since I first heard "Caught For The Summer" and we made a point to go see them on their swing through Vancouver after the Raveonettes show.

Oddly enough, they were another band that sounded great but weren't very compelling to watch. What happened to showmanship? What happened to making a connection with your audience? Singer Liam Corcoran barely opened his eyes the entire performance, and I can't remember if he uttered a single sentence.

Thankfully, the music did all the talking that was necessary.

The Raveonettes at the Plaza Club- March 8, 2008

Sharin Foo

This was our second time seeing The Raveonettes in a few months who are touring in support of their new album Lust Lust Lust. It's an amazing album, and made the "Must List" of Entertainment Weekly.

The Last time we saw them, was at Richards in October. The album hadn't been released yet, and for reasons unknown they gave a lackluster performance that Sharin actually apologized for at the end of the set.
Sune Rose Wagner

This show was quite a bit better although not as good as the first time I saw them. At that time they toured with a full band, and not only did they sound amazing but the band provided a much needed personable presence on stage.
Leah Shapiro

These last couple of times have been with drummer Leah Shapiro. Her small kit, and and entertaining presence help break up the lack of charisma of the band. That said, I Love Love Love the Raveonettes, and have a serious girl crush on Sharin, who was voted one of Blender Magazines hottest rockers.
