An adventure at my "home" bar!
(~*~)
Hello,
Welcome to the place I like to call... "My Home Bar"... CLUB ABSTRACT!!! MY KINDA PLACE!!! Why might you ask? Because it has more than five different areas to hang out in, lots of art works to amuse the mind, a large sunken dance floor, plenty of optional seating, lots of room in the "wide open feeling" of the outdoor smoking pit, and a large parking lot!!! And OF COURSE, the staff are WICKED!!! So of course I am bias, and do feel spoiled here... lol
The event itself... it was ABSOLUTELY FAN-F&*!%KIN'-TASTIC to see some LIVE ENTERTAINMENT again here!!! And to add to this fabulous occurrence, we had the BONUS PLEASURE of seeing some local talents that we know!!!

WHO PLAYED:
Dead Hour
Third Plain
Puncture Vine
ALL GREAT BANDS!!!
As I walked in about 10 PM I found not many had arrived yet, and things were already set up. So I took advantage of the situation, and started taking "before" shots" with my camera!!! Glad I did too, it got busy pretty fast after that - perfect timing (lol).
As others were mingling with one another, I had more photo opportunities for merch and band members. I gladly took them, and asked for pics of others. I thank all those that obliged, and allowed me some pics. I hope you like them.
It wasn't long before the bands started to play, and when they did the crowd was almost instantaneous. As I came "onto the scene" for pics, I noticed who else were taking pics - nice to see a few of us!!! I even managed to get a couple of pics of them too... lol

First up was Dead Hour, a 5 piece band with a darker style of clothes and music.
They are:
Vocals: Kristen Carter
Guitarist: Jane Hung
Guitarist: Shane Oatman
Bassist: Ivan Latendresse &
Drums: Jason Head
I have seen them before at "Fat Cats" on Hazelglen, when I was unfortunately only able to attend briefly. What I heard then I liked, and what I heard this night was even better!!! GREAT to hear it!!! Thankz for joining us on the dance floor!!!

Extra DEAD HOUR info.:
~ Debut Album "Interlude" was released in early 2009
~ new lead singer Kristen Carter (previously Robyn McNair)

~ Guitarist Shane Oatman (has three separate musical projects - main band, Dead Hour - also a graphic designer)
~ Bassist Ivan Latendresse ("our image is really just us being true to ourselves" & "isn’t meant to exclude anyone" & "fans at our shows: from two to 62")

Next up was THIRD PLAIN...
This 3 piece band are more of a heavy rock sound, with a more laid back apparel.
They are:
Vocals & guitar: Victor
Drummer: Elvis Raposo
Guitarist: Jared Kingsley
They have been well known amongst many of us Abstract goers, and have been together for some time now. As some of us may even remember hangin' at Jared's "back in the day". They were rockin' the house nice & loud back then, and they did it again here at the club tonight!!! I also noted that Jared likes to perform without shoes... lol
=
Last up was Punture Vine... This 3 piece band, is on the more twisted side of things.
They are:
Vocals: Hayley Ordiway
Vocals: Sylviane Leblanc
Keyboard: Jeff Carter
They opened with a premier of a 3D video on the big screen!!! I actually got some great pictures while it played, and after which I got some pictures of them on stage. They were a heavier almost gothic sound, and the video was very interesting. Unfortunately I did not get to ask them for pictures, and the pictures I did get were few and pretty dark. I had to leave a little early, so I didn't get to see the rest of their performance either - maybe next time around.
=
All in all, it was another great night of live music! I look forward to catching them all again!!!
Thankz for some GREAT sounds everyone, & HUGE SMILES ALL THE WAY AROUND!!!

Catch the pictures here.
=Until next time...
Loving the Live Music!!!
