In the stripped down 5-piece configuration that has come to be the norm since leading man, Mathias Kom, uprooted to The Rock, The Burning Hell made a return to their former province's capital city. A moderately-sized, energetic Monday night crowd greeted them kindly in the intimate Silver Dollar venue - even if they opened with some more downbeat songs, including Grown-Ups and Kings of the Animal Kingdom. A healthy amount of new Peoplewas interspersed with older, beloved Burning Hell tracks through the night - the former including Realists and the latter Things That People Make (1) and more recent Nostalgia. The guitarist got to play us some licks, as did Nick Ferrio on bass, and the female clarinet also had a featured solo or two. Mathias was obliging to requests which fortunately added The Berlin Conference to the set list though My Name is Mathias seemed to be the planned closer. Also planned was the encore as there really isn't any backstage to go to in the venue, so they were soon back for the uke-free Amateur Rapper which saw Kom banging the drum set for the crashing ending. Furthering the requests they came back for a second encore to uplift us into the night with my favourite song, It Happens in Florida, for which we poured out the "Love".

Billed as Matt Cully of Bruce Peninsula he was joined by a lady on the violin and effect keys, though she wasn't fellow BP member Misha Bower who apparently features.prominently on the album with imminent release. We can likely expect similar sounds on that to this live show which was primarily composed of Matt"s deliberate electric guitar work, and occasional effect or reverb, under his signature baritone. This voice got especially gruff on the traditional cover he performed and changed again for somewhat familiar finale, Chair on Fire.
