Last Friday, I went to see indie rockers Born Ruffians perform at the hot and sweaty Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto.
Yes, it really was that humid. But if the perspiration levels were any indication of the concert's reception, it would be safe to conclude that the show was a sweet, sweaty success.
Performing for a sold-out crowd, Born Ruffians played a balanced mix of new songs and old favourites, satisfying fans as they chanted towards the end of the show for "I Need A Life" (off of the album Red, Yellow & Blue).
Onstage, the band brought their kooky-yet-clever tunes to life with pleasing variations and powerful pipes that just can't be duplicated. As for the audience, they were just as animated as lead singer Luke Lalonde's sprightly vocals.
But what really put the cherry on top of this toothsome concert was the fact that every attendee received a free copy of the band's new album Say It upon entering the venue. Sweet indeed.
I'm really enjoying Say It so far. It's a fun and playful album that provides a perfect soundtrack for summertime activities — backyard barbecues, road trips, cottage shenanigans... you name it.
Here's the video for "What to Say," the first single off of Say It:
Cool concept, eh?
