Right from the start you knew that this was going to be an unforgettable night for Winnipegers. Cage the Elephant and Manchester Orchastra were simply dynamite opening bands for Silversun.
I did not know too much of these bands prior to the show, and to me they were showstoppers that melted their intense beats and intense vocals with simple energy that makes you feel the music. Bravo!
Silversun... what to say if you like this band you really love them. to see them live was just unbelieveable. The garrick was a great place for the show to have excellent accoustics, smaller crowd and standing room floor.
playing a great mix of music from their albums gave the show a non-stop rhythm to the flow and their stage presence was outstanding.
Brian Aubert came with the intensity that you knew Silversun would bring, high, hard and heavy. Nikki Monninger paints a beautiful picture on stage with her shy smiles but rivited bass tracks. Joe Lester kept the keyboards in solid motion throughout the show.
The one thing on this concert that i will say was the most awe inspiring was the drummer Chris Guanlao, wow.... i mean WOW, to hear their music on CD, to hear them live.... to watch this guy drum was just beyond impressive. Solid Performance man 4 real.
Thank you Silversun for putting out a WOW performance and bringing your A game to Winnipeg, with a little voice left in me and a constant ringing in my ears today i know that Winnipeg fans brought their A game to you!
