Sunparlour Players (Yonge/Dundas, July 6/12)

Sure it was only a week since the last Sunparlour Players show but with this band that's no reason not to check em out again. Set-wise it was rather similar but being in the open-air of Yonge/Dundas Square made a difference. Again it was a duo (Penner and Rosie) and they seemed to only have a handful of previous fans in attendance but still a decent crowd as passerbyers were drawn in. Without the intimate confines of a club there was some distance but they tried to bridge the gap with some banter and invitations to try their preserves (yet another pitch in the middle of the ad-centric square). Definitely not the response of previous shows however good exposure for the band and still enjoyable. The first half closed out with my personal favourite If the Creeks Don't Rise and it was some consolation that I was able to hear that even though I couldn't stick around for their second set.
