Show Review: Moneen, Sights and Sounds, Passenger Action
November 30th 2009 – Winnipeg’s revamped West End Cultural Center was the site of rocking, rolling and dudes singing about feelings. It was my first visit to the West End Cultural center since it’s make over and I must say; Volunteers suck at pouring beer. Look at this shi~ >

$4 for some d!ck to pour a glass of foam - then $uccessfully empty a 1/4 of the actual beer he managed to get out*!
I will take part of the blame for this beer fiasco. I bought a Bulldog Amber Ale. Like many a Winnipegers it’s a tough pour.
As for the bands…..
Passenger Action
I’m listening to the myspace page right now. I’d have to say I like them better recorded than I did last night. They’re kinda like Moneen meets awkward changes & guitar delay. They are better than the UK Passenger Action 4 sho. I miss Choke.
Edmontonians + Tech-space-punk = ~7.68/10
Sights and Sounds
I didn’t realize this band had Winnipeg roots & I wish them the best, but daaamnn. Musically boring; though the white-belt, flat iron, eunuch children seemed to like them. Maybe I’m out of touch. Touch them on your space.
Winnipeggers who should stick to h@rdcore = ~5.11/10
Moneen
I saw these guys when they were young, drop kicking maniacs. Although they’ve grown up and focused their energy more on playing the right notes; Moneen still rocks (as much as this genre lets them).
The addition of laptops, keyboards and extra floor toms for everyone didn’t even seem pretentious. It added to layers to their songs and brought the crowd in. Kenny still manged some guitar spins & high kicks and that hippie still has those stank dreads.
Still artfully explosive = ~8.98/10
