Ah, anticipation. I had been looking forward to seeing the Eagles of Death Metal at Les Saints all week and I was ready to rock. After the epic boneriffic stomp of Bison B.C. on Monday and the jawdropping spectacle of Nine Inch Nails on Wednesday (both excellent shows), I was excited to end the week with some swampy booty shakin' action. I wanted to dress up, dress down and get hot and bothered in a room full of strangers... not a lot to ask for on a Friday night.

Like most good stories, this one started with an email…

November 5th 2008

From: Pirate! Steve Theo

To: Joshua Mocle

Do you guys (or anyone there) want to go see Matt and Kim tomorrow, or do an interview, or a phoner, or anything?

If you don't Josh can't come back to Pirate!

OK maybe I'm lying!

Or am I.......?

The Cure would have either puked or danced to the fun, upbeat tunes that Black Kids were pumping out at Their highly anticipated show at Cabaret Juste Pour Rire last Saturday.

The stage was overtaken by a whole lotta fashionistas when the Kids took over. They walked on in, uniformed by loud colors, cute prints, pointy-toed shoes on the men and big gold jewelry on the ladies. The cute factor was overwhelming.

I must admit that reviewing this show provided the kind of challenge I usually enjoy. While not being overly familiar with three out of the four bands on the bill (including both headliners), one would think it would provide me with a relatively unbiased outlook on the proceedings. However, I’ve unfortunately discovered that unless you really enjoy the bands on bills like this beforehand, you aren’t really going to enjoy yourself.
