Old World Vulture

Toronto band Old World Vulture played Neutral recently as part of CMW and I was there. Great show guys. To the uninitiated, you can get a feel for the band by checking out this skillfully edited short promo vid here.

OWV features that pal of mine Devin who I had a gay encounter with in the ocean I mentioned in a previous entry. Devin couldn't be that gay though because he's married. Although, so was U.S. Senator Larry Craig.

Anyway, Devin's wife Kerry said I was a groupie because I was standing right near the front. I guess it's cooler to stand in the back, near the bar. That way i could feel like a record company executive looking for The Next Big Thing. Of course, I'd be even cooler if i was way way back in the club, but i couldn't because there was a couple there making out. All night.

So i was hanging out near the front, just to the left of the stage, depending on your perspective. It was funny how this weird horseshoe shape formed in the crowd of people watching the band. Nobody was actually standing right in front of the stage watching them play. They all sort of stood back to create this semi circle, because i guess it's not cool to do stand right in the front. See, OWV is an indie band, and by extension I will assume that people in attendance were fans of indie music. That explains the semi circle then. In theory, Indie people are cool. And if you're right up front watching the band that closely, i guess you come across too eager, which is uncool.

Having said that, infamous DJ and new music afficionado Alan Cross was at the venue last night, which is very cool.
