Menomena, Suckers Play Cat’s Cradle
On Thursday night Suckers rolled into town with Menomena to play at the Cat’s Cradle. Photographer Elisabeth Vitale was there!
White Rabbits / Suckers / The Balconies
White Rabbits played at the Legendary Horseshoe Tavern last week. This proud Toronto establishment has been serving the Toronto rock fans for over 60 years. It was the right venue for White Rabbits to make their Toronto debut.
The sextet played to an oddly mixed crowd of young uni students to older ‘I took off my tie so I would look casual’ kinda dudes. They have received some attention before making their first visit to hogtown, the band played on Letterman last year and their most recent and second album was produced by Spoon’s Britt Daniel.
The bands energy was high. The constant driving percussion made peoples’ heads bob and at times sent bodies crashing into one another. I love the duel drummers, one playing a full kit the other wailing away on some big ass toms.
Suckers (yes it is just a clever name) came along from Brooklyn to open along with Toronto’s The Balconies. I couldn’t say enough good things about both of these bands. So I won’t. Just go listen if you get the chance.
