About

The New Pornographers in Concert

For the last two decades, The New Pornographers have been delivering infectious hooks, sweet harmonies, and a pile of power-pop riffs every time they take the stage. The critically acclaimed supergroup — A.C. Newman, Neko Case, Kathryn Calder, Todd Fancey, Blaine Thurier, John Collins, Joe Seiders and Simi Stone — embarks on a new tour in support of their brand new record In The Morse Code Of Brake Lights. The album is more of what The New Pornographers do best: "pure, blissfully irresistible power-pop" (NPR Music).

    The venue is pretty lack lustre. The acoustics took some tweeking but a couple songs in the NP were pretty amazing. Their vocals kick ass! It's also so hard to see from pretty much anywhere. I hope they play somewhere else next time they're in town.

    Great Show, Flat Venue

    by Anonymous on 2010-06-14The Garrick Centre - Winnipeg

    Great show by two great bands, but venue (or sound men) needs work as the sound was poor at best for both acts.

    disappointed

    by Anthraxen on 2010-06-11Edmonton Event Centre - Edmonton

    New Pornographers seemed disorganized and unprepared. Their on stage banter was not amusing and they kept talking over each other. Band member (Danny??) seemed so wasted he wasn't even "present" when on stage. Was so looking forward to the concert - but would never go and see them again live. I will continue to enjoy them from my ipod - but that is it.

    New Po's never cease to disappoint!

    by subieguy on 2010-06-11The Garrick Centre - Winnipeg

    The venue was crisp-sounding, the audience energetic, and the music was superb.

    Engaging show

    The Mountain Goats and New Pornographers put on a downright amazing show.

    Great show! Saw them years ago after the release of their first or second album, and they still sound incredible live... Tight and fun.

    Wow.

    by robbiethet on 2010-06-11The Odeon Events Centre - Saskatoon

    The Odeon was SRO, & as it turned out, for exceedingly good reasons. The New Pornographers have a unique sound derived from their wonderful harmonies, clever lyrics, & exquisite musicianship. I'm so happy Neko Case has added her voice to an already astonishing mix. She was stunning. I'm happy.

    New Pornographers were, as usual, fantastic. Every song was great. The Mountain Goats were hard to understand (volume too high for their style of singing) but they were still fairly entertaining. Strangely I actually regretted putting my sweater away in the car; it was cold in Ed's and didn't warm up when the action started.

    Sweet Canuck Rock

    by Goldo on 2010-06-10The Odeon Events Centre - Saskatoon

    This was an amazing show as usual from everyone's favourite Canadian Pornographers. This is the first time I've seen Nico Case and Destroyer Dan with the full band and I was completely amazed and musically satisfied. Some one get me a cigarette.

    great band, unfortunate venue

    by lispet on 2010-06-09Edmonton Event Centre - Edmonton

    New Pornographers were great to watch, but the sound was a bit mushy due to the venue. i'd definitely see them again, but hopefully some place where i can hear more detail in the sound.

    Revisiting the hits & some new favourites!

    by Kev64712 on 2010-06-09Edmonton Event Centre - Edmonton

    Been a New Pornographers fan for a long time now. They've got so many great albums and so many great songs that unfortunately they can't possibly play them all in a given set. Still, they played a great cross section of music from all their albums. I wasn't as much of a fan of the new album, but it's started to grow on me, and I "get" the new tracks more now that I've heard them live. A fun concert as usual from these guys

    New Pornographers rock!

    by trilingual on 2010-06-09Edmonton Event Centre - Edmonton

    The Mountain Goats opened--enjoyable set. Great show--one power pop gem after another. It wasn't sold out, but fairly close. One niggling point: the PA wasn't that great (muddy midrange-y sound). I think they used the in-house PA but I could be wrong. The singing was great-- Dan Bejar was his usual eccentric self. He, Neko Case and Carl Newman sang great and had lots of energy. The supporting musicians played well but remained fairly unobtrusive. Best show I've seen in years : )

    Great Music, event harmed by attendence

    by Coldhardmitch on 2010-06-09Edmonton Event Centre - Edmonton

    The New Pornographers were tight and the music sounded great even in the acoustically awful Edmonton Even Center. The Energy of the show was lacking, however, because of the relatively few fans.

    The New Pornographers are awesome!

    by Jill183 on 2010-06-09Edmonton Event Centre - Edmonton

    Amazing show and considering the venue, pretty good sound.
