REVIEW: Drive by Truckers @ Lee’s Palace
As many of y’all noticed we haven’t posted much shi~ lately. I was in Toronto Ontario Canada on business.
My business was drinkin’ booze and business was good.
On April 7th I staggered over to see Drive by Truckers at Lee’s Palace. These guys have been piling shi~ on the buzz wagon for a while, so I went to check it out.
In true ‘country mouse in tha big city’ style I got too drunk and wandered around the Bloor and Young subway station trying to figure out what train went where; (they all look the same damnit!) but eventually made it on ova….
I've added hats for authenti$ity
Show’s in the big city start early. I got there at 10:30 and the Truckers were already into their set. Another thing that grinded both my ass & my wallet was the price: $15 on the internet / $35 at the door -> A true Winnipeg WTF*^!
Actual Show Review
At their best they sounding like Neil Young; at their worst they reminded me of Phish; at their own sounded like pure indie-alt-country. The place was packed, mostly with sweaty dudes and I would say everyone was down with the cause.
T dot Oh dot wants to be a cowboy… as long as he wears distressed designer jeans.
They did not play the only song I know (while I was there anyway) so I give it to you now:
Bottom Line: 7/10 - I was completely underwhelmed; kinda wanted my $35 back.
