A few weeks ago my buddies A-Bomb, Buzzard and I went to the Sunday afternoon Western Death Ballads show at the Blakbar on Whyte Avenue here in Edmonton.
I've always said that afternoon shows would be a cool thing. You get the people that are still drunk from the night before and those that have started early and then there are the older folks that like an early start and don't want to be up late. Not on a Sunday though, unless of course it's a long weekend, like this show was. Monday was Family Day here in Alberta, so this show worked for us. That, and we are all big fans of local band Western Death Ballads. For a 1pm start the venue was full, so ya, afternoon shows do work.
There were a whole bunch of local artists on the bill with each artist doing two rotating 15 minute sets. The only artist/band that really did anything for me was the band we were there to see and that was Western Death Ballads. This would be the 4th time seeing them play. It made for a long afternoon waiting to see WDB do there two, too short sets, but it did make for an afternoon of a whole bunch of beers drank. Western Death Ballads were great as usual. Can't wait to see them play an actual headlining set. A fun way to make the best of a Sunday afternoon. I know it's not much of a review, but the show was a few weeks ago, so I'm just summing things up.
