Crash Karma
We went down to Fort Erie last night to see the Trews. It was a great show by them, as always, although Colin sounded like he's coming down with a cold or something.
Opening act was a group called Crash Karma:
Which was a little weird for me, but kind of cool at the same time, because it featured Jeff Burrows from the Tea Party and Edwin from I Mother Earth (among others). Tea Party were the first band that I really got into the habit of seeing repeatedly (21 shows, I think, by the time they broke up?), as well as being the first band that I got into trading bootlegs of and of being part of a 'fan community'. I Mother Earth was one of my favourite mid-90s rock bands as well. So it was kind of interesting seeing them in a "whatever happened to" sort of way.
At the same time, I got a bit of a feeling that they weren't really using their talents to their fullest (JB especially), so it was a little sad - I think I would have enjoyed the band a lot more if there were other people involved, because I wouldn't have had the same expectations.
