I saw ATE last night at the Danforth Theatre in Toronto. It was an amazing show! One highlight was before the band even began their set. Queen music was playing on a stereo, and what seemed like the entire audience joined in together to sing 'Bohemian Rhapsody'. Someone even waved his lighter. Great moment. But of course, ATE was even better. I love this band, and I was so excited to see them. They exceeded my expectations. Mikel had tons of energy and enthusiasm. His voice is unbelievably good - really nice tone, and he has a very good range. The light show and the presence of all the band members was excellent. Mikel and the band were obviously happy to be there, and it showed. At one point, three of them were playing the drumset simultaneously. Mikel was playing several different guitars as well as the keyboard and the drums. I love the sound of the violin as well. They have so many great hits, like: 'Sometime Around Midnight', 'Changing', 'Numb', 'Wishing Well', 'Innocence', 'It Was All for a Woman' - I could go on and on. The Danforth was a great place to see them. If you have a chance to see them and you're a fan: go.

Wintersleep at Burlington Music Festival 2012
Last night some friends and I saw Wintersleep at the Burlington Music Festival. Wintersleep is an indie rock band from Halifax. They were amazing!
The festival had a great atmosphere. It was a beautiful night. The festival was mostly right on the waterfront. The beer garden was right in front of the main stage; what great planning! There were several sailboats anchored in the water. There was tons of food and vendors. There were many different music options all over the place.
As one of my friends said, it was nice to get out of 'Mommy mode' for a little while and enjoy some great music and a happy, lively atmosphere.
