We love Blue Rodeo like we love hockey. They are quintessentially ours, and we are theirs.

This show – a trifecta of Die Krupps, My Life with the Thrill Kill Kult, and Ministry – is not my normal type of show. All three are industrial rock music, some with a twist of metal, some on the goth -ier side of things. So I say to myself: “You are gonna go see your friend anyways, so here’s your chance to experience something new. Step out of your musical/ concert comfort zone. Go see your friend AND enjoy some live music. Even if you don’t know it. Especially because you don’t know it!”

Jeff without The Tea Party feels like a conversation illustrated with music than a rock concert.(And where the audience provides our side of the chat through applause, whistles, and woo hoos (and the occasional brave soul who yells out things like “Move back!!! (to Canada)). And boy, do I appreciate this conversation.

Dear Friend of my Friend,
On the one hand, I’m so sorry you were unable to attend this concert. On the other, I am so grateful I got to go in your place!
