The crowd was all about the Headstones, and a good chunk of it was made up of burly dudes dressed in varying degrees of black leather. Whiskey Joes is a bar & grill that actually turned out to have a respectable sound system and helpful staff. It took us a while to find the place though - it's actually in Stoney Creek, a few km out of Hamilton and you have to drive up a freakin' mountain to get there. Luckily we got there VERY early - like noon early. Killed most of the day knocking around a soccer ball behind the venue. (We went to buy it at a local Zellers and had security called on us when things got a bit rowdy in the sporting-goods section. At one point Soundman Steve lost control of a basketball which actually hit a pregnant woman - he swears that if her kid turns out to be a basketball star it's thanks to him.) The show itself was pretty damn good. Shlag was in Mexico for this one, so the band seemed to be missing something, at least to the ears of the crew. Nobody in the audience seemed to realize, though, and by mid-set quite a few heads were bobbing and a good portion of the crowd gravitated closer to the stage for a better listen. Everyone in the band was pretty much on top of their game for this one, and although the drum kit was miked pretty poorly Brian managed to pound some decent volume out of his kit. Vocals were bang-on tonight, sweet harmonies and a stellar scream from Jeremy during Nejuan that turned a few heads on the people who weren't listening to the band and got them to pay attention for the rest of the set. High points of the experience: First, the band pulled a decent response from a crowd who had no idea who they were. We didn't get a chance to do any promo on this one, so not a single soul in the room was there to see Zygote. Despite that, we sold a lot of albums and got a great response from the local crowd. Second, The Headstones. Cool guys. They could have been assholes, but instead they hung out with us a bit and shared some road stories. Very cool. Other than that the whole day was a satisfying road experience and the band kicked out the jams with a heavy set of precision tunes. Signed, sealed, delivered. We'll be back.
