No Transitory
It’s been almost 6 years since I first saw Alexisonfire at the Masonic Lodge in Streetsville. My gut told me they’d become giants in the indie music scene and here we have it, my instincts were never more correct.
Headlining the Cutting Edge Music Festival in Grand Bend, rammed with thousands of people pumped to keep the party going non-stop, Alexisonfire had to stop twice mid-performance because the stage barriers couldn’t hold back the crowd – half of whom were screaming ‘Dallas have my babies!’
Unlike Goldfinger at Wakestock though, this time around the band chose to cooperate with the stage crew, who were literally drenched in sweat trying to prevent the crowd from eating George and the bunch alive.
On the bright side however, their set was well-worth all the commotion, Alexisonfire performed with the same energy and passion that they’re notorious for. While driving back, I listened to their very first homemade demo I picked up 6 years ago at the Masonic Lodge.
Needless to say, they’ve come a long way, and the brother band has become so successful that a media pass couldn’t even get me close enough to say “Hello, remember me?”. I can’t complain, I’m just proud to say I knew them when was Wade asking for my I.D. to buy beer the night they signed with Distort Entertainment
