The Temper Trap Tickets

the sound wasnt that great: too much bass as usual. We couldnt hear the trumpet from the opening Van band, The Racoons.

The Temper Trap were amazing! They played a new tune, can't wait for some more new material.... Great atmosphere, great night had by all

Amazing show...I think this is one of the top bands for the future and I was so happy they came to Toronto one more time. I can't wait for the new cd late 11 and if they come back before I will be buying 4 more tickets. Thanks Guys...Great job, great show.

could not make out what the signer was signing, and the flashing lights were obnoxious to look at. It was like the stage was set for a venue ten times the size. I would not recommend seeing temper trap live; save the money and listen to the radio/album

The Temper Trap were awesome. A great instrumental band as well. Last song before the encore, the lights go really bright and the lead singer pours water on his cymbal and drum and starts playing. The visual effects were extraordinary!

Temper Trap knocked the house down. Really great show, go see them if they come over from Oz again. Opening acts were terrible though.

sounded AMAZING! but the longest set up ive ever seen

Temper Trap are really, really good live. Took two friends with me who are now in love with the band. Can't wait for the next album.

Temper Trap was pretty good but didn't play well live. The biggest problem is the sound quality in the Pheonix - really need to change what they're doing because it ruined the band's sound.

Second time I've these guys in concert, and once again they were absolutely amazing and i rocked out hard core. Their performance exudes talent, sexiness, and authenticity. I really love Dougy and his hyperness/energy on stage. Having the chance again to get autographs and chat with him at the end of the show is the cherry and icing on top of a crazy delicious cake lol. I would see them a thousand more times, they are top 5 favorite artist for me no doubt. Excellent show!!! Well worth more than what I paid for the ticket.

Wow! They rocked my wife and I. 2 words....AWE-SOME!

A great band really played their heart out and really put on a good show- despite a somewhat cold audience. Not playing their hit song and playing such a short set left me a little disappointed.

The Temper Trap are a phenomenal band and I would definitely recommend anybody and everybody to see them live!!

Opening act Kissaway Trail from Denmark were slightly reminiscent of seeing Death Cab for Cutie particularly from a drumming standpoint. The crowd got into their tunes and it would have been hard not to, infectious drum grooves along with a character on stage who would remind anyone in their 30’s and up of “Bez” from Happy Mondays, only playing tambourine and dancing about the entire show. I will be happy to check out their studio stuff and their new album comes out in April. A Neil Young cover mid-set was much appreciated by the Toronto crowd. The Temper Trap opened up at just after 10pm with a feisty jam and laid right into a blistering version of "Rest" from their debut album "Conditions" available on CD and on vinyl, the latter receiving better mastering. All the tracks from COnditions were played throughout the night with the bassist dedicating Down River to his grandparents in attendance. The band had a good rapport with the Toronto crowd and the inevitable screams when the fantastic guitar riff from Sweet Disposition were clearly apprecitated by the band. Frontman Dougie was spot on all night with vocals, not quite as delicate in spots as on the studio album but the rawness of the live event still showcased an amazingly talented voice. Bassist Jonathon Aherne was a treat to watch all night, really getting into the entire performance. While his bass looks awkward at first being strung so high, it clearly works for him and his dancing and thrashing about fed the crowd just as much as singer Dougie Mandagi’s seduction of all things microphone did, despite a few instances of ear-splitting feedback. Only one negative about the show - The Temper Trap only played for 60 minutes. Their songs aren’t long which could easily change in the live setting, some songs could definitely have been jammed out longer like Rest, Fader and Resurrection. In addition these guys have 4 songs from a 2006 EP which are all excellent and none of them were played. Can’t complain given that it’s only a $15 ticket, but for sure a 90 minute set at the moment is easily within these guys reach and no-one would be looking for the exit door, they are that good. The band ended with a new track Rabbit Hole with Dougie on acoustic guitar, showing that the band isn’t just content to sit on their laurels playing the new album which is great, but those older tunes would definitely work well with the Conditions material also. All in all it was easily a 5-star show. One or two outburst of feedback aside the sound was really good at The Mod Club and the event was well organized. Often singers can get a bit drowned out, but Dougie’s voice was clear all night. The Mod Club do need to turn their fridges up a bit though, the beer was nowhere near close to being cold. Don’t miss The Temper Trap when they come to your area.

Awesome show....great songs...great venue. The end drum jam reminded me a bit of Mute Math's live show.

Overall, I thought the show was really good, but I have a couple of complaints. First being the sound: it was way too loud!! I'm no prude, but the sound was so loud that the individual sounds from all of the instruments clashed and drowned eachother out. The lead singer has such an amazing voice, and it seemed like he had to strain to sing above the instruments. Secondly was that the bass player really annoyed me- he was a complete cliche, and made a fool of himself. Other than that, not bad.

Opening band was alright, not great. Elizabeth, they were called. Mediocre songwriting and singing, but decent instrumentals and driving beat kept it energetic. Temper Trap were awesome! Great songs and chemistry and real talent combined with great technique made for a great show. I hope they come out with another great album so I can see them again! Yay for an Asian frontman... something different and really great to see. His voice is amazing (but just a bit nasally) and when he poured water on his drum and started playing, the crowd went wild! A really cool effect visually. Overall, an amazing show.

There are no words to truly describe Temper Trap's performance. They are so much better live and I was incredibly suprised at their jaw-dropping talent. Every single song felt like the band was pleasuring the audience sexually, it was almost like a spiritual trip. I am unsure as to how I can go on my day-to-day life after having experienced such beauty.

Completely blown away by the performance and talent of this band!! It wasn't a concert, it was a spiritual experience!! Def will see them again!! I wish that I had a rewind button and watch them again....Awesome night!

Temper Trap were on fire last night. Pitch, beats, cords, everything was rockin last night. Played most songs from their first North American release, so the crowd knew every song and got into it quick. A blast. Highlight was Drum Song and Love Lost. Thanks for a great night!
