Blue Rodeo Part 1

It's a great accomplishment for any band to just survive 23 years as a group.

Blue Rodeo has thrived.

Last night's Blue Rodeo performance at Nanaimo's Port Theatre did not dissappoint.

In fact, it was one of the greatest concerts I've seen in recent memory.

This is thanks in part to the stellar opening act, Dustin Bentall and Kendal Carson.

The vocal harmonies of these two muscians was chillingly amazing.

Dustin's voice has tones of Neil Young and Bob Dylan, with a solidly strummed guitar providing the rhytm to Kendal's lead-style violin; and sulry, entralling voice.

Check his solo work out by clicking the image below.



Kendel Carson also has solo material available, click the image below to visit her site.



Blue Rodeo took the stage after a brief intermission - just enough time to grab a pale ale.

I recorded select songs and wrote down the playlist, which will be included in my next post, Blue Rode Part 2.

New Green Day Song!

Remember when Green Day's Dookie came out?

Man, those were the days.

I will always credit Green Day as the conduit which shot me head first into punk rock.

Green Day turned in to Offspring. Offspring led me to Pennywise. Pennywise to Lagwagon, etc.

And you know what? I still love Green Day.

At a recent concert, they debuted a new song called "Cigarettes and Valentines".
Check it out!

Skilled Poker Playing

My buddy Graeme is takin' off to the soon to be frozen tundra of Edmonton, Alberta on Wednesday, so we're doin' a little poker game tonight.

After all, moving isn't cheap, and after winning the last game, he's looking for a repeat.

Good thing my skills of a poker player are highly advanced.

Not.

What I mean to say is good thing we only ever play a $10 dollar buy in.

Yeah, that's it.

Anyway...should be a fun evening regardless of the outcome.

On another note...

Blue Rodeo hits the Port Theatre tomorrow. Got great seats. I'll post a review in the coming days.

Out.
