Pictures: Ottawa Rideau Canal at night, in concert: Lioness, You Say Party We Say Die, K-OS.
I had never been to a concert quite like this one. Usually there's a singer with a set list of songs and a word here and there, smaller, less exciting opening acts with a similar music style... This concert had two opening acts, both of which were very good. Their style was nothing if not tangibly in the same spectrum of what K-Os is all about; their music was a mix of electronic/house/dance/punk/everything else. And they were very energetic and interesting; they had everyone's attention, unlike some acts where nobody ends up paying attention. I actually wanted longer sets from both Lioness and YSP WSD (check out their music).
Then, of course, there was K-OS. He just came out with his sonic crew and started playing and singing. Songs and beats just kinda blended into one another until it was time for a break, for him to talk to the audience, and for get us to wish one of his band mates a happy birthday. It was all very energetic. One woman spent the whole time dancing between the security gate and the stage.
Unfortunately, I didn't get to stay for the whole thing! Being a Wednesday night and me having to get up in the morning (an early start to what would be a looooong day) - plus being all the way downtown, I decided to duck out after the performance of Sunday Morning. I like concerts!
A thanks goes out to Karen for getting tickets for Dan and I!
