Badbadnotgood
The uber-talented rapscallions of Badbadnotgood played a mix of covers and originals, where the newer ones tended toward free jazz and were harder to dance to due to their unpredictable time signatures. The drummer, keyboardist and bass player were joined on more than a couple numbers by a sax player who was well-loved by the crowd. What isn't to enjoy from these promising (and grateful) youngsters bringing a fresh sound to the indie scene? By the end, following a friend of the band's invited stage dive things really took off. Yes, there was pandemonium in the pit at a jazz show. How badass is that Toronto?
Aidan Knight
Notable differences between the afternoon, apartment show and this were the volume and the energy Aidan could bring us from a standing position with the sound system turned up. The set remainder much the same though time constraints cut their cover (by audience vote) in favour of closing with Knitting Something Nice (Margaret Downe wouldn't have held up to a Saturday night Horseshoe CMW crowd anyhow). It was You Will See the Good in Everyone that most impressed this fan though. Now a little more banter while you change your tuning between every song and some playlist variation and I'll be able to say Aidan Knight is the new Dan Mangan.
