I saw Library Voices, a Regina band, tear it up in Toronto last night. First they played El Mocambo and won over a jaded rock indie crowd. Subtle leg wiggling soon turned into to full on clapping, shouting, and groovin’ to the shout-along celebratory choruses. They ended their set with a cover of Neil Young’s “Unknown Legend”, with everyone singing loud chorusing harmonies, and a front of stage beat down of what I believe was the floor Tom.
I have to say, those kids from Regina did such a great job winning over that Toronto crowd, and giving it their all (kudos to all band members for not only “breaking” one, but POURING out a sweat), that they actually made me well up with pride and tears came to my eyes!
I expect to see great things in the future for that band, and I expect they will be and already are, great influences in the Regina, Sask. music scene.
Hella Props to Library Voices!
