Norma Jeans

Made the trek to London last night to catch some quality live music at Norma Jeans. Wide Mouth Mason was already a wicked band before, especially live, and the addition of rock legend Gordie Johnson on bass could only make them better. Arguably a waste of his immense guitar talent, but certainly a boon for WMM and their fans. Luckily they already have Shawn Verrault, one of the most insanely talented and under-rated guitarists I have ever seen.

As good as they were last night, the opening act may have stolen the show. At the very least, they were one hell of a tough act to follow. The Stanfields are from Halifax and completely owned the place with a relatively unique blend of rock, folk, celtic and bluegrass. Something tells me these boys are going places.

Got in late (3:30am) after Jane drove us home in a thunderstorm. Woke up late to already 17 C, birds singing and everything blooming. Heck of a nice way to start a Saturday.
