05.14.2006 Pride Tiger
Sort of weird day. Decided to go see Pride Tiger (ex. 3 inches of blood/Goatsblood/S.T.R.E.E.T.S.), small venue, sounded like a good time. Doors were supposed to be 8pm with midnight dragon opening; so it sounded like short night. Both Cam and the other singer (whose name escapes me) from 3" showed up for the show.
Ukraine Center is a pretty much a scenster/DIY kind of venue. Situated in the heart of Strathcona, its about the size of a small house. It also has terrible sound, the good thing is that it has a pretty decent stage.
Get there around 8:30 to the sounds of You Say Party... playing the GAP, to a crowd of 15 people. Kind of suprising since they were supposed to play earlier in the day. Apparently one of the bands was late so they had to reshift some sets. ugh.
Our Mercury, a hold over from the afternoon show was okay but uninspiring. Like I mentioned before the acoustics of the room weren't that good.
Midnight Dragon went on stage around 10:30 and played about 40 minutes. Definitely had a 70's rock vibe to them. For some reason I got the impression they were heavily Zepplin influenced. I could also swear that their lead singer (with a handlebar moustache no less) was peddling a faux British accent. Not terribly into them.
Pride Tiger went on about 15 min afterwards. they certainly lived up to their hype. very fun boogie rock sound. Sunny does the majority of the solos in this band. Their drummer matt does the majority of the sing while backed up by their bassist and other guitarist bobby. they also played 40 min encore included.
