APE With DSB
Day Street Brothel and Ape Kicked the sh*t out of everybodys eardrums at The Time To Laugh on Saturday night.
This was the first time that I have watched Ape and the second time that I have watched the Day Street Brothel and I am still asking myself why I haven’t seen these bands more. For the Metal Fanatics that were in attendance last night they were showed what Toronto and Kingston Rock Metal is all about.
If you haven’t heard any of Ape’s music before and you’re a fan of Metal I urge you to visit their myspace and have a listen, but when you see them live GET READY because their music is in your face and pretty much loud enough to make your eardrums bleed. There wasn’t one song that Ape played that didn’t rock the place out. Ape played songs from their album that is out now as well as their album that is upcoming, and I can’t wait to hear what the new album has in store. One of the things that impressed me the most about their performance was how tight they were, especially their timing between the three of them. My favourite song for timing was their last song Friend Or Foe. The way the guitars stopped and left just enough time for one crash of the cymbals, and the drums solo at the very end was sweet. I liked the bass players strap setup for his first Bass. I don’t usually see them all that often but it was a waist and over the shoulder strap. He also uses a five string Bass as well, another I find it is not so often used Bass. The length of Apes set was eight songs which included.
1. Beyond The Depths
2. Man To Machine
3. Sell Out
4. It’s All My Fault (This Time)
5. How You Left Me
6. So Lonely
7. It’s Not
8. Friend Or Foe
Just as Ape left the audience hanging and trying to regain a little bit of hearing back DSB came to the stage and picked up where Ape left off. DSB was just as loud if not louder but f’n good. This was a great night to be hearing both bands because they both were playing songs off of their soon to be released albums so the audience got a nice sneak peek at what is to come. DSB didn’t play Cumbersome which I was surprised at because at their first show ever they got a request to play it twice. They did however throw a Black Label Society cover tune in. One addition to their set from the last time that I watched DSB was the addition of the starting to “Knockin On Her Back Door”. This song has now made its way into one of my favourite songs to listen to in my truck, but listening to them play compared to the album version, the live version sounds better. After listening to the new tracks I can’t wait to hear the new album when it is finished. The one thing that I can’t get over is how Doug is able to sing the way he does and he is able to do it all night. You really have to get yourself a listen to the vocals to see what I mean. My second favourite song that DSB played was their first song on the album which they also used to open up their set called “Tales from The Day Street Brothel”. At the end of their set they were about to walk of the stage but were cheered on for a encore song which they obliged and finished out a great night of Local and Toronto Metal.
