05.26.06 Architecture in Helsinki / Clue to something....
Architecture in Helsinki played in Vancouver today at the Plaza. Early show, doors at 7 show at 8 and curfew at 10:30, sounds good I get to go home before 12. The first bad omen comes even before I can get through the door. About 3 signs are plastered in the entrance / vestibule. No Cameras / Filming. sigh (I later found out that they aren't very strict on this and it may just refer to the nightclub crowd). Regardless Plaza is a pretty decent club. About as nice as the Commodore i guess.
First band was Clue to something... Koal i think. Interesting band. Very arty rocky. Used a pelthora of instruments and samples. Was like 8-10 different instruments divided amongst 3 band members. Found them boring at times and at times had a very chill kinda vibe to them. Played about 30-40 minutes. Members of AiH played on the last song, doing some uh embellishments.
AiH played for more or less an hour. Played almost everything off of In Case we Die. 1 or 2 new songs i think were played. Didn't play the Degrassi intro to Wishbone. Crowd was pretty into the show. Was actually suprised at the turnout. Was expecting a lot less but ended up packing the place at the end of the night. One of the singers commented that it was like the Where's Wally (sic) book. I think she meant Waldo. It'll be interesting how they can follow up In Case We Die. At the end of wishbone, one of the singers left the stage with a plastic cup full of home made confetti, climbed the stairs to the balcony and poured it over the rail on to the crowd below just before a crecendo of the song/jam. unfortunately due to the size of the cup and the way paper flys, the overall effect was rather moot. can't blame her for trying I suppose. Didn't particualrly like the new songs. Kind of amusing seeing some band members try to exit the stage after whats in store, but were told not to due to the time constraints of the curfew. Overall a good night.
