The line was around the block at the Mod Club at 6:30(!)
last night. I got the expected news when I reached the head – that they were no
longer excepting wristbands for entry – and the show was sold out. C’est la
vie. The bill – Serena Ryder, The Trews, Bedouin Soundclash, and Jim Cuddy –
was probably the strongest anywhere that evening, and truly the only show I was
interested in seeing. Instead, I went across the street to Revival and saw Cage
the Elephant play sound-check. Good band. Hard rock with high energy – I could
see a little GNR in them. Regardless, having over-done it the night before, I decided to call it an early
night. Final
score: 14 bands in three nights at 10 venues. Not bad.
