Yes, it's in Josh's library Poster: Black and White Dragon Swirl Notes: The dynamic of this show was VERY odd, and we were a bit wary from the moment we loaded our gear in. The night itself seemed to be split into two separate events. The first half consisted of two bands (Ember SwiftandThe Erin Smith Band)whose fan bases (and I'm not even going to pretend to be delicate here) were largely lesbian. Once they were done, the room all but emptied out and had to refill again for Think Tank Fish and Zygote. Since the audience flow was so strange and Zygote went on so late (The lesbian bands were recording their sets for live albums, so breakdown and setup were VERY time-consuming) the audience was smaller than usual and the band had their work cut out for them. Zygote's set itself was dynamic but featured few surprises. (With the exception of a smartly delivered rendition of "Interstate Love Song" featuring some crisp harmonies from Jer and Amir.) The rest of the show was fairly textbook, with the usual level of musical excellence attained easily and maintained throughout. The only sour note was an ambitious cross-genre attempt at The Flower Song which started to disintegrate about a third of the way through and never quite got back on track. Other than that the band hammered through a (relatively) quick set of familiar tunes that did the trick. A good show which exceeded our expectations. SOUND GEEK SECTION The sound levels were decent, with a nice sharp thwack to Brian's snare drum which punctuated the rhythms nicely. Vocals were well-mixed and Rivoli sound man Ron nailed the reverb loop on S.I.C. perfectly. I thought the bass sounded a bit boomy but it cleared up as you approached the front of the room. Aaron's and Jer's guitars were blended well, with Aaron popping in front of the mix as planned for certain sections, although I did catch some unwanted feedback near the end of the set that was quickly muffled. I'm sorry to report that the photos we took of this show were completely unusable. Maybe I should learn how to use the "flash" that they've installed on these new-fangled cameras. What an age we live in.... FAN COMMENTS The show was damn good. And that chord thing that Amir did during The Flower Song acted harmoniously. I thought Aaron was fuckin' scaling the frets faster than I could follow his hands. Brian was cracking the walls in a symphony of percussive madness! Jeremy sweats a lot and never missed a note. Shlag was makin' the overall sound of the band fluid, full, and deep, and adds a special something to the set every time. ~Zacharoo Friday, February 3rd, 2006 : Come In From The Cold at The Opera House Friday, March 15th, 2002 : The Rivoli Friday, March 1st, 2002 : Havoc in Hamilton VI at The Hudson Wednesday, February 20th, 2002 : Rafter's Pub in Sudbury Friday, February 8th, 2002 : Feel The Love: Pre-Valentine's Day Bash at The Opera House Saturday, December 8th, 2001 : Call The Office in London Friday, December 7th, 2001 : The Hudson in Hamilton Saturday, November 24th, 2001 : Kool Haüs with Big Sugar Friday, November 23rd, 2001 : The Trasheteria in Peterborough Thursday, November 22nd, 2001 : The Foundation in Barrie Thursday, November 8th, 2001 : The Shot in Kingston Friday, November 2nd, 2001 : The Opera House with Choclair Saturday, October 27th, 2001 : The Cage in Oakville Friday, October 26th, 2001 : The Hudson in Hamilton Friday, October 19th, 2001 : The Capitol Theatre Saturday, September 8th, 2001 : The Opera House Friday, August 10th, 2001 : Molson Amphitheatre with Dave Matthews Band Saturday, July 28th, 2001 : The Hudson in Hamilton Thursday, July 26th, 2001 : Club Abstract in Kitchener with See Spot Run Saturday, July 21st, 2001 : Lees Palace Friday, July 13th, 2001 : Woodstick Festival at Kee to Bala Friday, July 6th, 2001 : Two Tales II at the Comfort Zone Friday, June 8th, 2001 : NXNE at The Reverb Friday, May 4th, 2001 : In Concert at The Warehouse Friday, April 6th, 2001 : Federation Hall at U o f Waterloo Saturday, February 17th, 2001 : Lees Palace Friday, January 19th, 2001 : The Opera House Saturday, January 13th, 2001 : The Embassy in London Friday, January 12th, 2001 : The Hudson in Hamilton Friday, November 17th, 2000 : Zygote Into The Fray at The Rivoli Saturday, November 11th, 2000 : The Haunt in Ithaca NY Friday, October 6th, 2000 : In Concert at The Opera House Saturday, September 2nd, 2000 : Two Tales at The Rivoli Saturday, July 29th, 2000 : The Rivoli Sunday, July 16th, 2000 : Molson Indy Saturday, June 17th, 2000 : The Rivoli Thursday, June 8th, 2000 : NXNE 2000 at Clintons Tavern Saturday, May 20th, 2000 : All Ages at The Comfort Zone Thursday, May 18th, 2000 : Rock Search 2000 at Front 54 in Thorold Friday, April 21st, 2000 : The Rivoli Friday, April 21st, 2000 : La Luna in Hamilton Sunday, March 26th, 2000 : Whiskey Joes in Hamilton with The Headstones Friday, March 17th, 2000 : St Patricks Day Bash at The Rivoli Thursday, March 2nd, 2000 : Canadian Music Week at The 360 Saturday, February 12th, 2000 : The Rivoli Saturday, January 22nd, 2000 : The Hudson in Hamilton Saturday, November 6th, 1999 : The Opera House with Wide Mouth Mason Saturday, October 16th, 1999 : The Rivoli Friday, September 3rd, 1999 : The Rivoli Friday, July 23rd, 1999 : The Reverb Saturday, June 26th, 1999 : The Rivoli CD Release Friday, May 21st, 1999 : The Rivoli Friday, April 30th, 1999 : The Rivoli Thursday, April 15th, 1999 : The Reverb Saturday, December 5th, 1998 : The Rivoli Thursday, November 19th, 1998 : The Gordon Best Theatre Peterborough Friday, October 9th, 1998 : The Comfort Zone Friday, October 2nd, 1998 : The Horseshoe Tavern Saturday, September 5th, 1998 : The Horseshoe Tavern Saturday, July 11th, 1998 : The Comfort Zone Saturday, May 30th, 1998 : The Regency Hotel Friday, May 29th, 1998 : The Comfort Zone Saturday, May 23rd, 1998 : The Opera House with The Headstones Saturday, May 23rd, 1998 : The Big Bop Thursday, May 14th, 1998 : Lees Palace with Humphat Saturday, May 2nd, 1998 : The Comfort Zone Saturday, April 18th, 1998 : El Mocambo Upstairs Thursday, April 16th, 1998 : Unplugged at The Silver Dollar with Brian Gladstone Friday, March 20th, 1998 : The Big Bop Friday, February 6th, 1998 : The 360 Saturday, January 31st, 1998 : Call The Office London with Zuuls Evil Disco Friday, October 31st, 1997 : Halloween at The Original Six Sports Bar Friday, October 17th, 1997 : El Mocambo Friday, June 6th, 1997 : The Generator w Ron Hawkins of Lowest of the Low Friday, May 23rd, 1997 : The Comfort Zone Friday, April 25th, 1997 : The Comfort Zone Saturday, March 29th, 1997 : The 360 with Black Cabbage Saturday, March 15th, 1997 : AE Pi Frat Party at The Reverb Friday, January 31st, 1997 : The Comfort Zone with Andru Branch Saturday, January 25th, 1997 : The Warehouse with Fishbone Thursday, January 23rd, 1997 : Red Dog Tavern Peterborough with Tied To The Tracks Monday, November 4th, 1996 : The Horseshoe Tavern Friday, September 27th, 1996 : The Generator Saturday, July 27th, 1996 : The Honey Pot Saturday, June 8th, 1996 : El Mocambo Friday, April 5th, 1996 : El Mocambo Friday, October 7th, 1994 : The Opera House with Infinity Thursday, June 23rd, 1994 : Classic Studios Friday, June 10th, 1994 : The Shamrock Saturday, May 8th, 1993 : Rock n Roll Challenge II at The Spectrum	24/04/25
