Remember yesterday when a bunch of us CFS types went out on the Canmore town and had a skanking good time? Well, the same group ventured out again tonight, this time with Phil and Jacob in tow. Back to the “HO” in search of more of the same.
So, um , wow.
At first I thought it was just me. I don’t tend to get out that much any more to see live shows, so perhaps the previous night’s entertainment was merely an aberration…but everyone around me was grooving. Eric’s actually in a band (and he’s older than dirt 
so if he thinks the Jimmy Swift Band are “bloody amazing,” then I’m inclined to agree. I can’t recall seeing a better live performance in the recent past. A small note to the lead vocalist/guitarist: if you’re going to wail on your guitar like a madman, turn around and face the audience. Aspiring air guitarists everywhere want to see that shit!
I picked up their studio album at the end of the evening. It’s good, but as is always the case, it lacks the fire of their live performance. They have a new live album coming out next week(!) which I’m eagerly anticipating. If you get the chance to see these guys live, by all means do so!
