Field Trip '14 - Constantines - Fort York (June 8)

A reunion that many had been dreaming about since the beloved Cons announced their indefinite hiatus in 2010. Although it was the first show scheduled they had actually surprised the citizens of Guelph with a tune-up gig Friday night. Well it worked, as the five were in fine form, guitars blazing through a host of their hits. To open they called upon two additional stand up drummers to Draw Us Lines and when they left the hits just kept on coming. Bry had forgotten his solo project, his gruff voice belting out Hotline Operator as the band rocked out and the true fans were obvious in attendance - there to fist pump, holler 'turn it up!' and hold their hands high mirroring the band during Shine a Light. The Cons were joined for a couple joints by Tamara (Weather Station) and Jenn (Jennifer Castle). A personal favourite, I Will Not Sing a Hateful Song, was given the rock treatment and dedicated to PC leader Tim Hudak. Despite being a bunch of guys who have aged, got married, settled down and had kids, it seemed they forgot all of that for the set closer as they completely jammed out like their old selves up there.
