Starcrawler Live in Edmonton October 28th 2022

I was quite excited to see the Los Angeles band Starcrawler come back through town for not one but two shows on Halloween weekend at the small intimate venue The Foundry On Whyte. The first show on Friday night would be my third time seeing the band. I went to this show with A-Bomb and Cuz. Starcrawler were on the road promoting their latest release "She Said". The show was all ages which meant there were some kids at the show all dressed up in Halloween costumes, parents dressed up as well. Felt kind of weird to see a bunch of little kids at a Starcrawler show. By the time Starcrawler came on, a lot of the kids were gone, which was cool by me. There were a bunch of bands opening the show, most of them I didn't care for. Opening bands were Edmonton bands Robin Cisek, Stem Champ, Tebby & The Heavy and Calgary band Exit Division. I didn't mind Exit Division, a young band but seem to have a good thing going. Exit Division.
After a whole bunch of bands that I didn't really care for it was time for Starcrawler. Because it was Halloween weekend the band were all in costumes. Again Starcrawler were amazing live, the new music from She Said sounds better live then on the album. They mixed their set well with songs from all three of their releases. The band was in fine form and lead singer Arrow de Wilde was in fine form. She has got one of the beast screams in rock n' roll right now. It was a high energy hour long set. They even did the Ramones song "Pet Sematary". Really enjoyed their set and wish it had gone on longer. Good times!!! Starcrawler.
After the show I even got to meet Arrow de Wilde.
