I`m not gonna lie. I`m feeling a bit rough. Only in my bones though, I`ve been quite moderate with my Boreale consumption…I`ve got responsibilities after all.
Queing, standing around chatting and walking from gig to gig is taking it`s toll. I should have been taking my Technique Nadeau more seriously…
I took in Avec pas d`Casque`s beautiful show yesterday at Evolu-son, an intimate and great sounding venue attached to a long lived music store near the lake.
I was struck by how many young families were there. There`s something unconventionally wholesome about beer mugs crowding the table with sippy cups and baby food. Seeing so many blissed out babies in a loud club (there was no crying, seriously…only some well times squeals of joy) reinforced my belief that there`s something profoundly special and different about how kids grow up here. This was not typical, in my BC upbringing. Not by a long shot.
I was riveted by Louis-Jean Cormier`s show later on. It was another one of those magical FME moments when, devoid of any prior knowledge of a band and not knowing what to expect, ones ears are happily massaged by an incredibly tight band with a refreshing sound…
Cheers,
Zeus
