A few weeks ago now, on January 18th, the Attics played their last show in Canada for six weeks. They’re off to Eastern Europe for a tour. This was a sort of farewell show, but they’ll be back in March 11th, at the King’s Head Pub. They played a tight set, at a fairly crowded Freehouse. What was the best part of the show? Was it the harmonies with Rob and Rene? Was it Aaron’s turn on guitar, singing Bob Dylan? Was it the closer, with Chris singing Over the Hills and Far Away? I can’t say. I enjoyed it all. The band had a handful of newer songs in the set, the Ocean, Spared, and Rush the Gates.
I haven’t seen the band play since September. It was good to see a show again, I’d almost forgotten the enjoyment of a live performance.
I’m not going to fake some kind of review.
I liked it, and I wasn’t there to take notes about what was good and bad. I went in a photographic mindset, and saw most of the show through the lens, crouching on the floor.
I mean, from my point of view, things were in order, running smoothly.
The audience was enjoying the show, and there were familiar faces all around.
Perhaps the next time I see an Attics show, I’ll go with more of a journalistic mindset, and bring back some kind of review that is more informative and objective. I’m no aspiring music critic, although Aaron Epp is. He’s got some more defined and refined opinions on music than I do.
No matter.
I’m a photographer. I’m there to show what happened, not necessarily say what happened.
