Went see 'Rain: The Beatles Experience' the other night and it was absolutely brilliant. Given that I never had the chance to see them perform live, it was two hours of time travel to a period that was responsible for some of the most influential and beautiful music ever created. Check out www.raintribute.com for more info on the four lads who not only resemble the 'Fab Four'. but sound like them as well. I closed my eyes on several occasions and it literally felt as though The Beatles were performing...pretty awesome. The show will be in Toronto for two weeks, so if you are in town and are a fan of the band (who isn't), definitely consider checking it out.
Since seeing the show, I've been on a bit of a Beatles-buzz...here's a track that I believe is consistently overlooked as one of the Beatles great songs...I'm really digging it at the moment (particularly when the lennon solo kicks in)....these guys were absolute geniuses...not too mention the most prolific band...EVER...no band today or in the future will write as many great songs as these boys did in 10 years...and let's not forget that most of the songs they wrote resonate as much today as they did 35 years ago...
Alright...here's one more...one of the greatest intros in music history...
March marks the beginning of the concert season in the Toronto area...too many shows to list; however, you can guarantee that I'll be attending a few...first on the list iS Bloc Party on March 25 at the Kool Haus...here's a preview of what to expect from that show, with tracks from the openers as well...
Sebastien Grainger - The Rhythm Method
Albert Hammond Jr - In Transit
Bloc Party - Uniform (from their new album, A Weekend In The City)
In case you feel like dancing, here are two tracks from a band that is getting a lot of hype on the net...
Klaxons - Atlantis to Interzone
Klaxons - Golden Skans
