| Message Board > Show Reviews > nov 13 - chet, ghosts, away r'io, the pickles, vincat at the vic event center |
| Tyler User Info... | this was a pretty good show! vincat was vincat.. the vocals seemed different, more lo-fi and I really liked that. but things seemed like they hadn't picked up yet?? I dunno the pickles.... really cool. I don't know how to describe them.. fun sassy punk? every song was a lot of fun, I liked the vocals a lot. this was the suprise of the night for me, I didn't know what to expect and I was very pleasantly suprised. lots of fun. away r'io I kind of sat on a couch for. slow emotional indie, sounded pretty good but I always get put in a sleepy mood. not quite my thing but I can see why people would like them. I would like to see some dug-up rampant songs next time.. and a name change to "away mari'o". ghosts were the highlight for me, and the reason I came. I bugged them for a shirt right when they came in, haha. and I've been listening to the newly released songs as well as the 7 inch for a while now. what is on the anthology? I didn't have enough money. anyway I LOVE their sound... emotional, hip, really passionate surfy guitar riffs and heartfelt vocals, synth backing, really well written songs... just so good. every moment brought a grin to my face of musical glee. better than I remember when I saw them last year with The Answer. this reaffirmed my belief that this is one of the top 5 bands in victoria, and probably #1 in that list. so good. I LOVED the songs, most weren't on the cd I acquired a while ago.. maybe they're on the anthology? so good. just so good. I love the guitar tone especially, it is delicious. I will go to every all ages ghosts show I can, and they need to have more. I had to leave as chet were setting up because this show ran really behind schedual, and I need to use public transit. I took a lot of pictures, mostly of ghosts (video clips too), but other bands as well. They shall appear on my site, http://xtylerx.tk when I get around to it eventually. - Mon, 14 Nov 2005 12:24am | ||
| AdoptaPirate User Info... | And by "sat on a couch" do you perhaps mean "sleep on a couch while crazy people put paint on your face, just to have you goto the bathroom, and continue sleeping" :P I thought vincat was kind of off, half the fun of their sets are well, entertaining sets :D just didn't really feel much energy at all until near the end, but I don't think they are to blame, there wasn't any fun lighting or anything aswel. still good as usual tho. pickles I liked away r'io... i really dislike really really slow mellow music live, i prefer to lsitent o that stuff alone in my bed or something, from what I could hear frmo the couch seemd pretty good tho, just not the best circumstances for me Ghost, wow, you guys are amazing - Mon, 14 Nov 2005 12:35am | ||
| jodi User Info... | I missed Chet. Everyother band sounded fantastic, and I'm not just saying that. Best time I've had at a show in a long time. - Mon, 14 Nov 2005 12:47am | ||
| caitlin User Info... | hey MARY (cable? sp?), you lost your wallet. KRIS (north, of vincat fame) has it, if he hasn't fled to mexico by now. good show everybody. i had a damn fine time. - Mon, 14 Nov 2005 1:06am | ||

| rustedhubcap User Info... | hey. crystal here, from vincat. this show was odd. (by this show i mean our set because that is all i was there for) after we played i just didn't feel like i usually do. i felt that it was dry and dull. i think i may have gave up a little, because the sound was screwing me up. the guitar sounded like poo and i couldnt here either vocals or keyboard. and when i can't here what we are playing it makes it hard to get into it. anyways, i am not trying to make excuses. i am just saying, i totally understand. it was just not the same spunky cat that usually rocks off socks. it was like a depressed sleepy cat on heroin or something. what happened?!?! vincat!...get out of thoes drugs. i told you not to get high before the show!... thanks for coming out on a sunday... i hope the rest of the show rocked. love crystal. - Mon, 14 Nov 2005 10:06pm | ||
| john User Info... | crystal im sure it was still awesome... but yeah we had problems the night before the sound on stage is such bunk... really takes away from the fun of playing. i hope i see a bouncing lively cat soon. - Mon, 14 Nov 2005 11:34pm | ||
