Filling the stage with infectious grooves and great hooks, We Are The Take played a set packed with new songs, as well as the crowd favourites such as ‘Tenterhooks’. The opening notes of ‘it’s over’ have a way of seeping in and making you shake your ass. ‘Montreal Love Song’ with its gentle plodding piano pulls you into a groove that you won’t want to escape.
‘Wait It Out’, with its simple, yet incredibly effective ba–ba-dah-dah-dah-dah-dah–dah–dah-dah-dah-dah-dah intro had the crowd singing along instantly.
This is a band that is ready to be discovered.
This should have been posted a few days ago, but life gets in the way sometimes.
Projecting a great vibe right from the start, cranking out fun, infectious tunes. This humble band continously showed their appreciation to the packed Horseshoe crowd who were just as appreciative. With great tones that just make the body melt in a wash of awesomeness, this band won over at least one new fan tonight, and I’m sure it was many more.
Great melodic hooks and a frantic stage energy. Sunlit Ambush did their best to get the rather weak Bovine crowd into the show, unfortunately their attempts at jokes seemed to fall on deaf ears. However when they let the music speak for itself, it spoke volumes.
Tracks like “Find You Again” have radio written all over them, I’d like to see the band hone their stage show a bit, because there is great potential there.
Machetes are preparing to head to England to tour and record some new material. Their show at the Bovine was one of a few lined up as a send-off. Starting the set off with the usual closer ‘Black Leather’, the band dove right in and tore into a selection of old and new material.
This band has a stage presence which I haven’t seen elsewhere in quite some time. Mixing punk, glam-style, and great hooks to create an experience that leaves you wanting more.
Catch them if you can before they leave for Europe, the next time they come around you might not be lucky enough to see them in such a small room.
