by Lemmiwinks on 2010-06-30Sound Academy - TorontoRating: 4 out of 5 Opening bands were good. I think the first band was called "Henry Clay". They were good except the audience cheered loudest for a Tom Petty cover, yet they played a Springsteen song instead?!
Against me was awesome. Punk-type music. They got the crowd going...
And finally, the Pickups. Mostly playing songs from "Carnavas" and "Swoon", they were on stage for about an hour and a half including an encore. Good energy, Brian interacted with the audience a bit. Brian is so cute, and Nikki looked darling in her blue dress.
Bought me-self a $25 tee and I was gone! I would definitely catch these guys again if they ever came back to Toronto. (Except if they were at the ACC... I hate the ACC)
