My buddies A-Bomb, Buzzard and I made our way to Bunkers Live a venue I had never been to before way the hell on the north east side of Edmonton to see the local Edmonton band Western Death Ballads.
We got there plenty early to checkout the three opening bands. Let's just say there is nothing to write about the openers. It did give us plenty of time to drink our fair share of beers though before the headliner.
It was almost midnight by the time Western Death Ballads hit the stage. This would be my second time seeing them live in as many months. This time with them headlining we got an hour plus show and damn were they ever good. Western Death Ballads play a mix of country, folk, punk with some twisted lyrics. With Cam McDonnell on guitar and vocals sounding amazing, on stand up bass Christi Mac and rounding out the band James Mullet on mandolin, so sound issued this time around. The band played a great set with mostly originals with an Iron Maiden cover thrown in for good measure playing a fucked up version of "Run To The Hills" that sounded great and a lot of fun. Those that were still in the audience seemed to be getting into the music big time. This show was a hell of a lot of fun. The band has 2 EP's and a full length album under their belts all available on Spotify they have a great catalog of songs to choose from. What songs they played that night, good question, the show was a month ago now, and with all the beers drank that night, I don't recall, I do know that is a great fucking show. I highly recommend checking out their tunes and catching them live of you get the chance. Good times!!!
