City and Colour show last night was amazing! It definately wasn't what I expected, in a good way! If you've ever listened to Dallas Green's music, you would know that it is more soft, acoustic songs. It definately sounds different than the Alexisonfire stuff you're used to!
Black Lungs was the first opening band. Wade MacNeil (guitar/ vocals for Alexisonfire) has the best voice ever! You can tell that he really gets into the song. Honestly, his voice was heavenly. I had never heard of "Black Lungs" before so I didn't really know what to expect. But just hearing the name, you'd figure it was some hardcore shit. It was completely opposite. I got to meet Wade after the show and get my cd signed. He really is a down to earth and sweet guy!
Sleepercar was next. This band had a genuinely south sound. lol. They're from Texas, so basically that explains it. I had never heard them either before, but was definately in love with them. I loved the song lyrics. The bassist has some serious skills, so I was soo happy that I got to meet him after. That band has serious potential!
Last, of course, was City and Colour. It's really just Dallas Green, with some people on the side when needed for drums. His voice makes me melt. His lyrics make me go "awwwwwh". He was on stage singing his heart out, and between songs, joking around with people in the audience. He definately isn't like most "celebrities" you'd meet. Sadly, I didn't stick around long enough to meet him. When he played the song "Comin' Home" I was near tears. That was the first song I heard about two years ago by City and Colour. I can play that on the guitar, but I could never play it as well as Dallas Green.
If I had the chance I'd definately venture out of my way to see either of the three bands again.
