LOL (laugh out loud) = ) Lisa Bills ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 14 Jul 1999 01:53:14 GMT From: Irene Gaspar Subject: A T.O. review that should have been better edited I almost missed it. After having had this concert in my agenda book for weeks now, I amost missed it. How typically me. The details of this trip to the Festival will, I’m sure, bore the pants off of you, and, more importantly, they will embarrass the hell out of me, so I shall omit them and sum up by simply saying that a moment’s indecision cost me 20 minutes of travel time. At 3:30 I was to meet a friend at the concert location; at 3:35 I found myself standing on the platform at Yonge and Bloor waiting for a train. By this point I was ready to pound my head against the nearest concrete wall, but as I was brought up not to put on such a display in public, I refrained. Instead I stood seething on the platform until I heard someone call my name. I looked up in surprise and found myself face to face with my friend, Nathalie, and beside her was a friend of hers, Cathy. They had been standing 5 feet away when Nathalie had noticed the Fruvous shirt. How’s that for a coincidence? Or perhaps it was fate that we met? At the time I thought it was bad luck for everyone concerned: we would all be late and have to stand across the street to see the concert. Though the Frulads are often late, the Fruheads are not. But as it happened not many Fruheads turned up--not as many as I had expected, anyway. This worked for us: we found a spot relatively close to the stage. I had a square of about 3x3 feet to dance in. After the sardine can of the February Convention concerts, it was easy on Sunday for me to count myself the queen of infinite space. Unfortunately for my companions we were positioned behind a cluster of parents and wee kids. The parents hoisted and lowered those kids so often in that hour that I thought they were working toward becoming a new ride at Canada’s Wonderland. The wonderful thing about writing a belated review is that, since all of the details have already been given, I feel no obligation to repeat them; I can be as peripheral as I like. And so shall I be. I thought the guys were musically very “on”. The sound was clear and the harmonies unswerving. Nathalie and I had seen Fruvous before and so we had some idea of what to expect. Cathy on the other hand was perfectly virginal. The tight harmonies impressed her, as did the the Fruvous sense of humour. This brings me to another point which has nothing to do with the concert. I’ve read in the posts that the new album does not include Pisco Bandito and that the band is going for a particular sound. For what it’s worth, I OBJECT! It’s not just because I love Pisco (though that is part of it). It’s that I hate to see variety and humour dispensed with in the name of seriousness and “maturity”. Now, I do not know for certain that that’s what the lads have done, but, dear God, I hope not. Variety and humour are what I love most about this band, and I know I am not the only one who feels this way. Take Cathy, for example. She commented on those very features of the band: she liked their “range”; she liked the fact that they could laugh and make us laugh--”You can’t take yourself too seriously,” she said, “You have to laugh.” She is coming to the Harbourfront concert with Nathalie and I so that she can see the funny, eclectic musicians she saw on Sunday, not some single-sound bland band. There now. I think I have said my piece. In fact I think I have said quite enough for an evening. :) See everyone in August! Goodnight, Irene ********************* Define "universe".

But, all in all, the bus ride from AC to OC shouldn't be that bad. I am not sure about any busses that go directly into OC, but this way you might get a chance to meet some of the friendly locals...
