I don’t know if there was any concern regarding starting the festival on a Tuesday night but if there was it was needless. I made it to both the Seahorse and Attic for a bit last night and both had great crowds present [and there was also the sold out Tegan and Sara show at St. Matthew’s Church - not the Cohn as I wrote yesterday].

I managed to catch Be Bad’s complete set at the Seahorse before heading to the Attic for Husband and Knife. A change in times for the line-up saw the Superfantastics and Blue Heeler switching up, with the night ending with the Bicycles.

So I wanted to see the Superfantastics, see how the tour had sharpened up their chops, but because the time change and something coming up that resulted in my leaving during the Blue Heeler set, I missed them [and the Bicycles].

Herohill has a complete recap of the Pigeon Row showcase last night. They note that the touring has definitely improved the band. Fuckery on missing their set.

Blue Heeler - had a great crowd response, lots of attentive fans, but all I thought of the set was Neil Young/Crazy Horse - without the crazy. They have a great stage banter, good dynamics between the two in the band. Ms. Doiron was happy she was at Pop Montr…er…the Halifax Pop Explosion. And the crowd seemed happy to have her/them.

Husband and Knife + Be Bad reviews tomorrow as well as a recap of where ever I end up tonight - the options?
