Partying like a rock star

This is old news, but what the heck... I partied with the rock stars, again! This time it was Jason Collett of the Broken Social Scene and the band he tours with called Paso Mino. Beer and tequila shots came alive! Jason Collett is amazing in live performances. The last show I saw of his, he primarily focused on songs from 'Idols of Exile' (which is an amazing album by the way). This time he treated the good fans at Cafe du Nord with at least 5 new songs and all the classics from his previous two releases.

I was impressed by one of the opening acts by Rykarda Parasol. The songs had this interesting gothic touch to them. The songs on the CD don't sound as heavy as they did live, which is actually a good thing. They sound much much better on the CD.

Once again, more crappy pictures can be seen here:
