Music, musings and miscellanea

The quality is crap, but you get the idea. This is the once fantastic Saves the Day playing somewhere a long time ago. Something about the energy between the band and the crowd makes me love this video. The way EVERYONE is singing along, and Chris Conley’s right in the crowd. I saw these guys open for Gob and Face To Face at the Icehouse (which was normally a strip club) in Victoria eight years ago, and it’s still the best bar show I’ve ever seen. They released three wicked LPs, then jumped ship from Vagrant and dropped one big, fat flaming turd or an album with this as the lead single. Oh, how the mighty fall. Insult was added to injury, cause at the time my three favourite bands – The Get Up Kids, Dashboard Confessional and Saves the Day – were all signed to Vagrant and proceeded to drop shit records in quick succession. I could have cried.

and to keep the good times rolling, their swan song…
