They're hot alright ! The Hots were in fine form at the Mod Club Saturday July 12, 2008. It was quite an interesting night. The show was supposed to start at 10:45 pm. However upon arrival The Hots' fans were treated to the end of the Burlesque Ball being held at the club that night. The berlesquers proved to be a good opener for the band as the fans were cheering along with the nights original guests. After a quick clean up the band hit the stage getting their fans up and dancing with the upbeat Ze Germans. The band continued their solid performance with songs like Long Time Caller and Apollo Creed. The set was topped off with an aerialist performing in the middle of the club up a red band of cloth attached to the Mod Club's ceiling. Great show Hots !

Barrie's got talent !!! The Quarry were supposed to open for Kris Roe @ The Foundation Night Club. Kris explained that he had a long drive ahead of him and asked The Quarry to switch spots in the line up. I was a little tired after seeing Kris and the band rock and was planning to stick around for just a couple of songs. Then The Quarry hit the stage and I couldn't leave. They were really good and I quite enjoyed the set. That and frontman Jeff Brennan really seemed to like the camera made for quite a fun night. Great job guys !

Headed down to the Legendary Horseshoe Tavern for this show on a recommendation from my brother in law. He told me they were quite energetic and would make for some cool shots. This was my second trip to the Horseshoe and if they were going to be active I thought I should bring my flash with me. They took the stage and rocked the house. Their songs are mostly french so I didn't quite understand everything they were saying. No matter. They were a lot of fun and quite active. The place was packed and rowdy. It was all good fun. I can't wait till they come back to Toronto.

As per my previous post I found out about We Are The Take when I was looking for bands to shoot in Toronto. I listened to the music on their myspace page and was quite impressed. So off I went to the El Mocambo for the night. They were the second band to play and performed a great set that kept everyone quite entertained. I'll have to keep an eye on these guys. Would love to seem them live again soon.

I'm trying to hit the clubs as often as I can to shoot live bands. Had a look @ the El Mocambo website and found three bands playing this night: The Hots, We Are The Take and Bad Flirt. After listening to the myspace pages for these bands there was no question I was going to be there. The Hots were the first band up. The played a really good energetic set. I really enjoyed it and was pleased
to find out they'd be playing again really soon @ The Mod Club.
