Stumpled upon, literally - last night: an awesome electronic-rock band from Montreal, whose name I had to look up only once I got home: DJ Champion + ses G-Strings!! See above an amazing picture from my phone!! La-la-la! You know how after a great show the excitement is running SO HIGH and strong? I am in fact still so excited to be writing a review!! Aaaaaah!! Discovering a new band, is some sort of *extreme* joy!! It's like ________. This gig being part of TIFF -- gov't sponsored and all -- you have no expectations, right? -- but what an awesome performance this was!! So glad I stuck around!! The best thing that ever happened to the Yonge-Dundas square!! The crowd was -- whatever Billy Bob said. I tried to help. Then Measha Brueggergosman came; ruined everything. Did she-did she have to? Whoever gave her the mic. She can blow away the whole YDS with no mic at all... Some things do not mix, imho, and that's surely Measha's over-the-top dramatic jamming with electronics. Yet another shocker was to find out how much dichotomy there can be b/w a recording I am hearing now and a live performance. So much so that I hardly can say I even like the recorded sound of this band! This is probably the most extreme case I've ever come across. I suppose it had to do with the type of music this is, and the performance is somehow much more interactive; How does the DJ send the energy to his Strings and further how it flows to the audience - beats me. So unfortunately you can't hear this very charismatic band's awesomeness through any of the recordings, not even You Tube, these babies are good only live.
(hearts) Montreal Boys!!
