Ah friday. The night most of western society accepts as an equivalent to what sunday was for god. a day of rest and binge-drinking to loud rock music. rock on. Well Rusty was on full display as they played their last show in the venue they used to work in, back in the day the stage wasn't in the former kitchen. And if that wasn't a hell raiser! Let's just say I didn't even try to part the crowd to get to the other side of the bar. Uh-uh. I wouldn't even be able to tell you whether or not there was definite moshing action. But crowdsurfing I saw.
Not knowing who Rusty were and not being the biggest admirer of the style I was confused as to why this stripped down rock music was sooo well received. The last show certainly put a buzz to the set but the popularity in general was striking.
Fuck Montreal was a shoutout from my once dear and near town of Halifax. And post-punk/rock or not, music that comes from Hali sounds like Hali. Which is a good thing, I think.
Following the East Coast troopers were Indian Handcrafts and New France. Metal infused rock lined with psychedelic and punk[for Handcrafts] and melancholic vocals[for New France]. I was particularly impressed with the drummer for New France. Good accent and contrast to the quieter and sombre vocals.
Saint Alvia was more of the pop/punk scene and lifted the atmosphere to a very drunk and Rusty fan-filled audience. The Dum Dum Girls were killer. Personally I could not tear my eyes off the bassist who unlike the other 3's enthused jumping and energetic playing simply swayed to her own pulse the whole show.
