On Tuesday night Little City took to the stage at The Mansion for the weekly installment of the Indie Buzz Werks Showcase and Networking night.

This was the first time that I have watched the entire front entrance be filled with gear at the Mansion upstairs. I thought that there was two or three bands worth of gear ready to be set up but I found out that it was all Little City’s gear. One important mention that I have to make right off is the fact that they played all of the instruments throughout their set and they were not there to show off all of the gear that they have.

Little City was also in town to help support their album The Going and The Gone.  Throughout their set they really only had a couple of minor mishaps with a couple of their songs. There was also the addition of a few jokes in between songs, some were hits and some were not.  About midway through their set there was a little bit of a fatal timing error which happened about thirty seconds into the song, the song was then stopped and restarted again. I was surprised that there wasn’t many instrumental sound fouls throughout the night because of all the instruments that were being switched around during each song. As I said before I have never seen so many instruments brought into the Mansion before from one band.

By the start of their second song which was “A Song Is A Song” Little City had the audience captivated with their indie rock/Fleetwood Mac/Country influenced music. It is really hard to put a front man up for Little City as the lead duties were shifted throughout the night with each passing song. If it did come down to having to choose I would pick Frances due to her smooth delicate and moldable vocals. Her vocal grasp within each song should not go unnoticed. My favourite song which she sung during the night was Lincoln Learning French. However I do have to say that I enjoy the album version of this song a little bit better then the live version which was played.  

Nearing the end of their set Little City had finally spread out enough and burst out off the stage with Shaun being the one leaving the stage and play out into the audience and made his way over to the other side of the stage.

Little City played for about forty five minutes and left the audience wanting more. They played one cover song which was “Do You Believe” from The Beatles, the other songs which Little City played was
