I might elaborate on these following shows I saw yesterday but for now I'll do this photo-blog style. Lal were understated and although I appreciated their set and like their music, the concrete environment of the Square(and during daylight no less), wasn't the ideal venue they should be seen in. See them in a small club, trust me. The Sadies, with special appearances from their mom as well as Blue Rodeo's Jim Cuddy, Greg Keelor, and Bazil Donovan, performed a great eclectic set of their country, surf, twang material with a few nods to 60's pop and Lee Hazelwood. I was mighty exhausted by midnight and was only able to stay for Carolyn Mark's first of two sets. As much as everyone thought her set rocked(yes, it was a rockin' good time!) I did notice some people leaving after she finished the first set? Anyone stick around for her second set(after midnight)?
