Apologies for keeping you hanging and not delivering.. I was supposed to attend the Final Fantasy and Timber Timbre show in Vancouver at a church this past Friday. I was super excited for it and you can imagine how crushed I felt when Owen Pallett came down with strep throat and had to cancel. Therefore I didn't get to see the show and don't have anything to post about either.
I do have another blog on the go though, it will document my travels through Asia over the next four months. I know it's not the same but it'll have to do as I doubt I'll be catching many relevant concerts while I'm away. Perhaps on the flip side I'll start it up again, wherever I take up roots in Canada upon my return in February. Until then!

Traveling
Oh Matthias! (Matthias Kom, Weird Weather)
I made Coles notes for myself to fully write this one up.. but now that a month has passed it doesn't look like the full write up will ever surface. So here is a glimpse into what I was planning. It refers to the Attic (in Guelph) show featuring Matthias Kom (of the Burning Hell) and the Weird Weather, and Lisa Bozikovic.

Lisa playing the keyboard with same guy sitting on guitar and matthias on drums
matthias opens with "part of your world" before getting into some originals and some covers. Long story about dermatologist mid-song. Captures attn over simply uke. Gets Jenny O for cover of Wax Mannequin and story about being in yukon. Has the first girl, lisa, join him to sing backup on Burning Hell's song (lie, la,la,la,lie). Closes with Kiss the Girl including keyboard set to totally fit the sound of the song.
Weird weather saw Kom back on drums - only brushes b/c at the attic. nick (?) playing guitar - at one point so fast you literally couldn't see his hand. another player too.. keys? overall not that particularly intriguing set.
Comment on the night of Matthias (involved in all three sets, and the most captivating for a self-proclaimed agoraphobe!)

Out of Commission
Apologies to the two and a half of you who've bothered to check here in the past few weeks. I've been wrapping up my tenure in Guelph and have actually driven out to St John's Newfoundland in the meantime. I know I should have given you the heads up but times were hectic - please accept my humble apologies.
I still have plans to write up the Matthias Kom/Weird Weather show from the Attic a few weeks ago. And I hope to give myself a proper send off before I voyage to the ancient land of spice (Asia?) for a few months. I'll say my goodbyes to Guelph at that point.
