18 Years Ago Today...May 27th

It was eighteen years ago today that I saw Furnaceface play the New York Theatre in Vancouver.





Also on this day three years ago today I saw The Sadies with openers Pack A.D. play the Starlite Room here in Edmonton.



As well on this day two years ago I saw a couple of shows, the first one was a band called The Details play an in store performance at Permanent Records here in Edmonton.



And then in the evening of the same day I made my way to the Starlite Room to see Anvil play.





It was a very busy day as earlier in the day I also went to Axe Music for a meet and greet with Anvil.

The Details at Permanent Records 05/27/2011

Friday night before heading out to the Anvil show, I caught Winnipeg band The Details play a free show at Permanent Records here in Edmonton on Whyte Ave.

I had never heard them before, but thought what the hell it is a free show, might as well go check them out. I was quite surprised by how good they were. They play rock n' roll in the stream of say Coldplay with a bit more edge. The band consists of drummer Shaun Gibson, Jon Plett on lead guitar and vocals, bass player Keli Martin and guitarist Sean Vidal. The Details have a new album "Lost Art" coming out on May 31st. They also have 2 previous albums and an E.P.











All and all I enjoyed there 40 minute set. The Details will be playing here again on June 3rd at The Haven Social Club with Windsor, Ontario band Michou and then again on June 4th at the same venue playing with Victoria, B.C. band Fish & Bird.
