O.K., here's the deal. I'm going to tell you a little story right off the bat to make the rest of this review make more sense. More than a few years ago, Ace Frehley and Peter Criss got together for a tour called "The Bad Boys of Kiss" and subsequently rolled on through Montreal....to the Metropolis. I bought a ticket without hesitation, as did two of my buddies that had been huge Kiss fans all of their lives too. Thick n’ thin, that's the way it goes.

LADYHAWK - Shots

March 8 2008 // Magazine // Music Reviews

By Simon Howell - The Listening Ear - 03/08/2008

Vancouver band Ladyhawk's self-titled debut was a bit of a revelation. Here, lo and behold, was an honest-to-goodness emotionally driven rock band with a chunky, early-‘90s indie-rock sound, that didn't sound at all contrived. Better yet, they had great songs to back up their chutzpah and passion. Shots finds them, like label mates Okkervil River, continuing to find solace and strength in sounds left behind by their hipper contemporaries.

I have to say that when I got my tickets to this show I was all like, this should be a mellow one, considering their style; I didn't expect there to even be a lot of people. Well...there were. In fact, the place was sold right the hell out. I'm so not into a super packed atmosphere, but these guys throw down a really mellow vibe. Pretty subdued crowd -- a new pattern/disease of today’s youth I guess!
