BEDOUIN! LAST THURSDAY!! AUAUAUA!!

So as you know, I went to the Bedouin show last Thursday night. I went with my kickass roommie, Laura. She'd heard "When the Night" years ago when it came out and loves it! It's now "our" song, hahah, we're geeks!

Anywhoodles, I educated her on Bedouin's awesomeness, and she was hooked. And last Thursday night sealed the deal: the boys have a new fan : )

Laura and I managed to snag killer spots--front / centre (despite getting there late).

The opening acts were Mishka (who's going to E-Ville) and Zaki Ibrahim. The bass player for Mishka was incredible. He could play like nobody's business!

Zaki was amazing! She's so hyper-talented and cool... I definitely want to see her do her own show. Also: she was asked to come back out and play an encore!! Wowza...!

Then Bedouin came on at around 9:50... how do I know?? Because Laura and I had sworn that we'd leave at 11:45 the latest to catch the metro home... lame-0.

They played: 

-Until We Burn

-St. Andrews

-Back to the Matter

-Nico

-Can't Hurry Love *Phil Collins cover

-Bells of 59

-Jeb Rand

-Money Worries

-Johnny Appleseed

-Message to You Rudy *The Specials cover which was AMAAAAAAAZING due to the addition of a sax and horn player

-Shadow

-12:59 Lullaby (Jay didn't sing most of the song since the audience sang it to them...)

-Gyasi

-Walls

-When the Night (with the "Stand By Me" intro... le sigh)

They got off the stage... Jay threw his towel

...The crowd went BONKERS

They came back out and played:

-Shelter (My favourite!)

-Nothing To Say

They got off (that's what she said, hahahahahahha!)

My roommate dragged me out because we were going to miss our metro...

THEY CAME BACK OUT AGAIN!! and I heard:

-Music My Rock

I'm positive that they played their cover of "Blitzreig Bop" (I'm so choked that I miss that!) as well as "Living in Jungles" and (knowing them!) another cover or two.

Anyway, the addition of the brass section was masterful! Bedouin seriously gets better every time I see them... I'm half-tempted to hitch-hike to AB for their show on Saturday, hahaha!
