Hayden 6/7/2008 : PopWreck(oning)

After supporting The National in Europe, completing a sold out theater tour of Canada and an April tour supporting Feist, Canada's Hayden continues to tour his latest release In Field & Town, this time headlining in the States. While touring, Hayden is playing with a full band including Corey Wood on drums, Wayne Petty on guitar, Paul Loman on bass, and Dale Murray on guitar and keys. The use of a full band has provided Hayden with a hard rocking, dynamic sound the held the audience rapt.

Seated and surrounding the North Star's elevated stage, the audience was completely enthralled with the sounds filling the bar. Hayden's fans displayed the utmost respect for the Canadian musician by remaining perfectly still, eyes fixed on stage during each and every song the band played. Hayden's rich and smooth voice coupled with his acoustic riffs were complimented wonderfully by three part guitar harmonies, pulsing bass lines and driving percussion.

The Lemonheads : 12/12/2007
Evan Dando is drunk. No. Make that wasted. He ambles on stage, welcomes us with a slurred “Hello Susquehanna,” and berates a roadie for putting his guitar strap on the wrong way. After removing it himself and fixing it twice, it’s the same as it was when he first put it on. Then, Dippy Dando, alterna-god of yore, locks still flowing and jaw still jutting, steps up to the microphone and opens with “Goodnight and Welcome.” Mumbling something about tequila, he proceeds to sing “Happy Birthday” to no one in particular. This, you could say, is a bad omen.
