Saturday Nights are Alright

It's been awhile since I attended two shows in the same night (and in retrospect, probably could have even done three. Sorry Arkells!).

I started the night at the Cavern, where Lost Weekend (for fans of Dragonette, Foster the People, The Limousines...) served up a healthy dose of danceable pop tunes. The Cavern isn't the greatest place for bustin' a move, but it only took half a song to get people out of their booths and onto the floor. Full disclosure: I don't dance because in my mind it looks something like this:



Second stop was Lo Pub for Enjoy Your Pumas (watch their super awesome video for "Walk it Off"!). The first time I saw the Pumas about five years ago, I was on the fence about them, but they have since grown into one of my favourite local bands. Their live show has gotten way better and Rosie is the picture of a confident frontwoman.

Lost Weekend are currently working on their debut EP, and Enjoy Your Pumas are about to set out on the second leg of their cross-Canada tour.
