i think both toronto shows may be sold out(?).
tickets online were being sold through: http://mtseccom3.mtsecurecommerce.com/ShowListSB.asp?ATYpe=P&TheID=283&EP=2

but they haven't had tickets for either toronto date or the hamilton date in quite a while.

i am going to gybe shows in:
dc, baltimore, carrboro, asheville, athens, atlanta, toronto (both nights) and hamilton.

just saw t hem last night.
they played for 2+ hours. was a bit longer than i thought it was going to be (after hearing philly was only 1.5 hours)
stood for 5 hours to get the spot that i got.
it was still enjoyable despite the pain and the heat.

What type of music do they play?
I have never heard of them before.

[Helm]

Hard call. It's ambient, with lots of crescendo's. They have a series of instruments, one introduces a 'theme' (not really a melody) and it gradually builds up by the orchestration, into a crashing wave. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Very good band, in my oppinion.

godspeed! you black emperor? yah...i heard of 'em. they're a bunch of evil bastards. not ONCE when i have been with-in earshot of them have they failed to set my hair aflame.

and i am in no way joking. my hair has been set on fire everytime i'm heard their cd.

yet i will still probably go to their concert. anyone care to see a small girl go up in flames?

[sspadowsky]

I have my tickets in hand, and am going to see them tonight. :)

Just wanted to rub it in the faces of any who might be jealous.

very cool. i get to see them three more times next week. i can't wait.

i just saw sigur ros last night. what a load of crap.

[sspadowsky]

The show was awesome. I didn't stay for the whole thing, because I was tired and having trouble staying awake. GYBE's music is wonderul, but it has a certain.... lulling effect. At the time I went home, they had been playing for an hour and a half. They also had a message they had printed on flyers which I will share with you when I get home tonight.

I just saw em last night. Excellent show indeed. Hung Over as the Oven in Maida is one of the few songs I actually find genuinely chilling.

One of the drummers actually broke their mysterious vow of silence and talked about the bombing that had just began.

people from the band talked at other shows. but every time it was something related to politics.

And for a moment I felt so special. :(

if it makes you feel any better, they only talked at 2 of the 5 shows i saw.
we'll see what happens next week, though.
