Definitely worth the measley $7. Highlights: Surprise Ending, The Man Song, The Mullet Song, Not The One. Great bands= great show. My first time seeing the cynics and i was hella impressed, amazing drumming... the only downside of the night was the realtively low attendance for such a large venue (Big Fernwood). - Sun, 14 Dec 2003 12:52am

Awsome show. About 160 ppl at it's peak, which was prob right at the beginning during Habitat's set and a bit of Undergo's. The lowdown: Habitat sounded good, fun show, good st.presence. Undergo was good aswell, nice technical songs, although you can still feel the holes left by Randi quiting the band. Ten Too Late were fun as always, and Hoochy was a blast. Armchair Cynics sounded awsome, mixed it up with some slow songs. Surprise Ending -- very good song. All in all and awsome show, lasted about 4 hours too. Rock and ska -- always a good mix. Good to see these bands stepping out and helping a good cause (rebuild school in Tiama, Sierra Leone). Tons of fun! Looking forward to seeing any of these bands again. - Sun, 14 Dec 2003 1:37am

good show,

habitat was good, i liked the coveralls.
undergo was good, never seen them before.
ten too late was good, but got owned by....
the hoochy girls! Good show for them as usual.
cynics where good too.

my only complaint would be that the ska bands shouldn't have been placed back to back.

anyways, hope the kids in Tiama got some money. - Sun, 14 Dec 2003 3:26pm

I was way way way way to drunk at that show. I am never drinking that much again. Aparently I didn't even play half our set. Sorry if I ruined anything or offended anyone. I lost my memory halfway througn our set and on my way home I got in fight and had to go get stitches. Anyways, if you guys want to see me play sober (and a lot better) come and see us and NY ska legends THE TOASTERS at central bar and grill on Jan.10 all ages. also playing will be the bloodwarmers and those rapskallions - Sun, 14 Dec 2003 7:14pm

I thought all the bands were great. Believe it or not, it was my first time seeing ska live, I thought Ten Too Late played a great show. I like Hoochy Girls too, although the last half of the set was a bit loose probably due to the drinking. Really I have no complaints about any of the bands and I thought the crowd was having fun. Certainly worth $7. and was for a good cause. - Sun, 14 Dec 2003 8:47pm

One of the first all-agers I've gone to in a while. I did really like this one, unlike the last of those damn Skinflinter's. Really liked the first band, Habitat, very energetic, and good good music. Next band, Undergo, somewhat like Habitat, louder, but perhaps their songs sounded much like one another. Ten Too Late were very good and I only stayed for a bit of Hoochy Girls set. Good performance their too. All in all, i enjoyed this show, and it erased my stereotype for crappy all-agers. - Mon, 15 Dec 2003 1:12pm

When i said that 10.2.late got owned by the Hoochy Girls, I meant that The Hoochy Girls just played a better set, no that it's a competion. Take it easy Ten Too Late, this is the reviews section afterall, you have to acceptwhat people think. Just beceause they are a better ska band than you guys, doesn't mean you have to get all upset. They have more experience, better songs, and better energy (drunkeness?) but you guys are still good, don't worry.


well played. poorly attended. the end

Dear Guitarman... Oh Poor Guitarman, I've never met someone that actually thinks the Habitat writes good songs! Undergo isn't necessarily a great band, and I dont personally like them, but to be as brutal as to say that the Habitat are even remotely as good as them, thats rough. The Habitat fucking blow, they're so full of themselves, and they play possibly the worst music I've ever heard for their age group. I've heard handicapped choirs perform better and entertain a crowd with greater skill. I've left more talent in wrapped up coils in the toilet bowl. - Mon, 15 Dec 2003 2:11pm

The habitat: not my fav, you guys didnt really impress me that much, not my type of music though, and the lead singer, try not to be cooler than you are! the guitar/vocals guy did good though, and 1 more thing YOUR DRUMMER IS SOO HOT!
Eric hogg: GREAT gob man, loved the music and the cover from a perfect circle and radiohead rocked you did em well, thumbs up.
Ten too late: Man you guys did great, not particularly my style but it impressed me, and to the lead singer nice hair but dont do the pigtails, YOUR DRUMMER IS ALSO VERY HOT!
The hoochy girls:OH man that set was fun! danced to all of your songs, and then there was brett LOL he was great, i hugged him...you probably dont remember lol so many ppl, but anyways you guys did awsome!
Armchair cynics: DAMN you guys were my fav out there, i love your song surprise ending, i love your guys music, i know one of the x's of your drummer :P...i'll definatly buy your guys CD.

I wrote a song for you Good ol' Dean, it goes like this:



Good ol' Dean, can i come over after school?
We can hang around by the pool
Did your mom get back from her business trip?
Is she there, or is she trying to give me the slip?

You know, I'm not the little boy that I used to be
I'm all grown up now, baby can't you see

Good ol' Dean's mom has got it goin' on
She's all I want and I've waited for so long
Good ol' Dean, can't you see you're just not the girl for me
I know it might be wrong but I'm in love with Good ol' Dean's mom

Good ol' Dean, do you remember when I mowed your lawn?
Your mom came out with just a towel on
I could tell she liked me from the way she stared
And the way she said, "You missed a spot over there"

And I know that you think it's just a fantasy
But since your dad walked out, your mom could use a guy like me

Good ol' Deans mom has got it goin' on
She's all I want, and I've waited so long
Good ol' Dean, can't you see you're just not the girl for me
I know it might be wrong,
but I'm in love with Good ol' Deans mom

We had fun playing, hope y'all enjoyed (although it seems that not all of you like us, which is totaly fine).

Good point eboner, at least it's not the bands fighting. Sometimes people can get a little carried away. Whatever. Every band I saw played really well, and it looked like everyone was drunk and having a good time which is a good thing.

Thanks for coming, look for a shit load of new material from us in January (we're taking a break from gigs to write).

Stop fighting, it's only music.

it's good that their are such active music critics in this corner of the globe. i think perhaps you should band together and form a band review list. say who's good and who's not and then let more words (er.. typing) fly.

but again. this isn't a competition:

the start of the evening... what can be said?
a line-up starting at the top of the community centre, and the most overt usage of "fag" and "tight" i've heard at an all ager in a while.

The Habitat started the evening off in their pop punk styling with covers and between song banter. The habitat are at least establishing themselves as a young musical force, and you may not like them, but ask yourself:
am i in a band/perform music in a group?
if you answered "no", then you are disqualified from commenting negatively, because at least they are trying. (i'm sure their will be arguments on that topic.)

Undergo. Al, your voice is becoming more tonally accurate, BUT you lost Randy. give a little, take a little. It was a bit loud (as the music is) so i heard the set from outside, and occaisionally inside.

Ten too late played some varied ska. Toying with rocksteady and down tempo modern ska, this was a great performance. Check these guys out at SKAFEST '05. Drew... someone said you were attractive. you should jump on the offer. immediately.

Hoochy Girls played a decent set. they were pulling out the old shtick of giving shit away for weird/gross shit. same old, same old. You guys were SMOKING with mr. peterson on keys at the halos show. bring back the keys! you guys did well for Brett being so drunk.

Armchair Cynics played a well rehearsed, choreographed set of swallowable pop rock with some ambient grooves and funk thrown in for good measure. Well played. Unfortunately, again, poorly attended.

$7 went towards good causes and bands got to do their thing.


(p.s. eric hogg was a great addition to maintain the flow of the show, i could tell he was nervous. but it was good. good for getting up there.) - Mon, 15 Dec 2003 9:19pm

I'd prefer to remain anonymous during this reveiw. I've been going to shows for quite a while, and I guess I would know which bands I look out for, when picking a good show to go too. This show did have it's good times. Now for the bands.

The Habitat
Not my type of music. In my opinion they're like extremly sour, ripe fruit, infested with parasites (meaning not enough experience and have terrible taste), on a foundation of jello (meaning not well rehearsed). They seem to take themselves very seriously, which may turn them around to be a great band with practice (still not in the type of music I like). Unfortionally I have seen this serious tone go too far, and give shoddy wings to a dying nightmare. Like the next one on the list.

Undergo

I remember the first time I saw this band. Al's stereotypical lyrics and intoductory sentences before the songs he 'sung'. I can quote him from a recording of monkeyspank before playing saying 'we are undergo, we are from victoria bc, were going to open up this shit!, this song is called monkey spank, its about... how people follow religion blindly' this is an ironic statement because people do follow undergo like a religion blindly, from then even up to this date, without realizing the simple fact that al can't sing. If you hear recordings and like them, thats called autotune, and multilayering, which I'm sorry to say is for lack of a better word, fake. Even though I did enjoy the shocking guitar (which has lessend due to randy's leaving) and very tight execution of a set, they have completly changed there style as if begging to get a record deal. I'm not saying they won't, and I'm not saying they dont deserve it, for there perserverance is stunning, and quite respectable. The lyrics are still stereotypical, quote al in one of his older songs 'everything I've said has been said before' rings true, the music is worse and less shocking, (I can tell from taking my 'pulse,' I'm almost for sure dead). I also hope to God that they dont keep their monacle (awesome lythic cd) rip off cover art.


Ten Too Late:
I really like all the members of ten too late. Very approachable, very nice, and they're a decent band when it comes to the ever so dying trend of ska (keep the faith boys).

That was short

Hoochy Girls: Man, everytime I see these guys I wish I had a flask... all ages huh... well I guess we only have a liver once. They groove... enough to be said, they groove... (like an irish on st pattys day)

Armchair Cynics:
Sorry, didnt stick around. - Thu, 18 Dec 2003 12:05am

Well, good show from my point of view. Been to a lot of all-agers this fall, and here's what i think for the bands:

The Habitat, you can tell this band is really developping. I've heard them three times now, and they seem to get like 10x better every show they play. I think it's cool how they have to lead vocals trading off, and they have a very enjoyable punk/pop/rock sound, although from what I've heard, they're getting more into rock with their new stuff. Coming along very nicely, I'm looking forward to hearing from them in the new year.

Undergo wasn't at all very impressive at the show. Each song in their very short set sounded much like the other. I understand their guitarist has left, so that explains the void left in their music, and some of the missing guitar riffs, or so it seems. I agree with many of the posts, Al can't sing, but he's a very dedicated musician at least, so there's always room to improve, it's just bad to listen too at the moment.

Ten Too Late were good. However, they always play the same type of show, and as far as going to a lot of their shows (i def. have), they seem to change very little. Good set never the less.

Hoochy Girls were of course great at the show. Even though Brett was wasted out of his mind, i thought they pulled off a very good set. The only thing i see here is it is much easier playing with 9 guys beside rather than three of four. Very good show.

Armchair Cynics, although they are increadibly talented musicians, seemed to slow the night down. They had some great songs, like Surprise Ending in their set, and balance was great. However, some of there slow songs just wanted to put me to sleep. Not great stage presence, but very very talented band. - Thu, 18 Dec 2003 12:09pm

I thought all the bands were good. Skill wise, Armchair rocked, but i agree with Penguin that they were a tad slow. Hoochy -- great. I don't think The Habitat are too serious at all. In fact, for a rock band, they are probably the funniest on stage. I loved the We 3 Kings cover, and they have some very catchy punkrock songs. Undergo was mediocre, seen them play better, i've seen them play worse. I think that's all the bands. Oh yea, Eric Hogg was a good filler between sets. Good show, but as for crowd, with a bill like that, should've been way bigger. Didn't see too much promotion for the show at all:S - Thu, 18 Dec 2003 12:21pm

it def. was great to see so many bands @ once, and the crowd was an, um, interesting mix. though i missed the habitat, they seem to have quite the...following. still have no opinion on undergo-they're loud, they're alternative? too bad eric hogg couldn't be as appreciated as he deserves, in that environment. ten too late appeared to be having a great time-which for me is 80% of what makes a great show. thank god for drew's warm van. I will admit that the beat was a little hard to follow @ the end of the hoochys' run, but redeemed by dinosaurs. unfortunately i think i left during the 'cynics set, but was impressed. still can't believe how odd it is that victoria can boast a ska scene above a lot of other cities. - Thu, 18 Dec 2003 1:44pm

Was a great show, although, as has already been said, turnout wasn't that good.
The Habitat's set was one of the best of theirs of seen yet. The crowd was kinda slow for their set but it was fun anyways, they played well and their songs are enjoyable.
Undergo's set was too short, but I loved it...Al's vocals are definitely improving, and I quite enjoy his style anyways. Their mp3's hardly do them any justice...
Ten Too Late's set was great! Got me moving a bit and was full of energy (yeah the drummer is hot, heh)
The Hoochy Girls were pretty good, I agree with what has been said already, and that they were awesome when they had the keyboard and weren't so drunk, but Dinosaurs really got the crowd going & I love that song.
The Cynic's were kind of a slow down from the more bouncy sound of the openers, but did play some great songs (Surprise Ending, Kiss Kiss...etc) & got a bit of a pit going at points. Was a lot of fun.
Eric Hogg really tied the sets together well with his mellow but well-defined sound.
Great night, definitely worth the $7. - Thu, 18 Dec 2003 8:09pm

I thought this was a good show. Surprised so many ppl have posted considering the attendance. Thought Habitat was great to start off the night. They're really fun on stage, and they do seem to have quite a large crowd, cause after they play, lots of ppl tend to peace. They have a lot of energy, and good catchy music. Undergo was alright as usual, good but short. Not quite my style. The ska was good, shouldn't have been back to back, but it was fun. And Armchair were good, but a little to slow for the evening i thought. Good overall. - Thu, 18 Dec 2003 9:13pm

Were they doing security for the show? Who ever it was I heard them being all macho and talking about how they were going to confiscate alcohol and drink it. Ha ha not if I finish it all first, well they might have been joking by then I couldnt tell ya what was going on really. - Wed, 24 Dec 2003 10:37pm

I cannot stand the habitat. They are the ugliest kids that write terrible songs. The outfits they wore just proved how "try hard" they actually are. I was shocked when I found out their ages. I thought they were 14yrs old, they played like 14yr olds thats for sure. They are very sloppy. Don't get me wrong, I had a lot of fun at the show but the only reason I went was for the armchair cynics. It was the first time seeing the other bands and I thought the other bands played really well. But I was shocked when I read that you guys actually liked the habitat. They were easily the worst band that played the bill. The sound was so thin they need to fill out ALOT! TERRIBLE!!
And who made the line-up of the show? it was poorly laid out. So lets go in order now.

The Habitat: ...i just expressed how I felt about them. Their music skills are lacking ALOT!!
Undergo: I enjoyed their set, it was more poppy then the other bands. The sound was full and they were way louder then the others. This is where the layout went bad. As a fellow singer I disagree with a lot of the posts. I did not think the singers voice was all that bad. I was not a fan of the screaming though. I think a lot of this bands screaming is useless. I can honestly say I hated the screaming.
Ten Too Late: I am not a big fan of ska BUT this band I thought was really good. I think eventually they will overpower the local ska scene. They are young and talented. My advice is to not get carried away like the hoochy girls. Do not take off your shirt on stage. Don't become a joke band. Take yourselves a little more seriously. I will definitely be coming to your next show! I was thrown off by the singer at the start but i really enjoyed his voice. The drummer is very good as well. If they got better gear they'd rule!
Hoochy Girls: Im not sure about these guys. They are just a joke band and that is the only reason why local kids like them. They are very immature and i hated it. I think if they were serious as well that they'd be really good. That one kid was way too drunk and I was embarrased for him. They aren't funny. They are dumb. But they can be good at times. I noticed a lot of holes in the music though. When they grow up they'll be better. OH and don't play so long next time...its annoying.
Armchair Cynics: I really enjoyed the set! enough said. They can't go wrong. But i agree with everyone else...the bill did not suit them. They belong in a bar. Thank you. - Thu, 25 Dec 2003 6:18pm

What's your beef with The Habitat? They're a good band with tons of skill and potential. And considering how they were the youngest band there (not looking a day younger than 17) played really well. Just because you're an ignorant bitch that wants to sound smart by talking down to people, it doesn't make you a legitimate music critic. You have just made yourself look like a retard. Also, you say you're a singer? You must suck seeing as how you'd be able to appreciate Undergo's style and talent even if it doesn't apply to your tastes. Get some talent and some genuine appreciation for those fortunate enough to have some. Come back and review only once having widened your perspective on the real live music scene. Or do everyone a favour and just stop going to shows altogether. - Thu, 25 Dec 2003 10:02pm

Well well, what the hell kinda name is goodoldean anyways, get a life buddy or steal one from your 14 yearold whores, you pedophile. I like mr X's song it reflects my exact sentiments of this fat geek. After his beer bellied Dad left, all he had to do was get self esteem boosts and free milk from mommy. When you get out of prison, there's a friendly pit bull down the street that you can call in the event of craving another fat weiner between your ass you faggot. Don't even try to argue with this one bitch you've already lost all your honor. - Thu, 25 Dec 2003 10:19pm

Kickshitter... Read your first post over again and see what a contradiction it is. You're insulting this girl and telling her that she's trying to make her self smart by putting down other people, yet that's what you're doing. And then you say I have no honour? It sounds like you've been easily influenced and conditioned by movies again. Perhaps you just got out of the theatre from seeing "The Last Samuari". I think Honour isn't even a word that should be discussed on a messageboard, especially by two people that are spending their time insulting bands, and each other. And the name is Brendan? After I looked at the website I know that one of the Habitats members is named Brenden. I wouldn't be surprised if you're from The Habitat considering your love obsession for defending them. Wow with Brendens ability to "jump, trash, and still play.. mad skill" (Yes, it actually says that on their website) I'm not surprised that you're so amazed with this bands talent. My posts ended awhile ago because "X" had nothing worthwhile to say back to me. Your post is unoriginal and dull, and not even remotely offensive. Good try. - Fri, 26 Dec 2003 8:49am

ok pal, there isn't just one person in victoria called brendan, that's just a coincidence, if i was in a band i would've been more careful to hide my real name. Sorry if you misinterpreted the word honor maybe you prefer dignity. Don't talk down bands just so you can feel tough, i respect every band in victoria just for trying. If your going to bitch about talent then go to a professional show where they do it for a living. - Fri, 26 Dec 2003 12:11pm

Frankly, im kind of sorry that i started this post. There's far too much hate being thrown around from people who didnt even attend the show. I agree with kickshitter though, any band who just tries to play and have fun with their own music deserves credit.

Anyways, this post has digressed horribly from the original topic. The show was two weeks ago and i find it hard to believe that it could inspire so much passion. The comments are appreciated but the time has come to move on.

Goodbye and thanks for all the fish! - Fri, 26 Dec 2003 3:16pm

I'm embarrassed for me to!
and what's wrong with being immature?? it's fun!
As for the quality of our performance I agree completely, I was suprised no one else said we sounded like shit.

All that being said, come and see us play with the Toasters January 10th, we will be sober and Mr. Peterson will be back with the organ. We will also have a new song or two, and some CD's to sell. - Fri, 26 Dec 2003 9:19pm
