After a fantastic long weekend relaxing in Florida I had the pleasure of seeing the Arctic Monkeys play a small venue in Toronto tonight. They put on a great show, playing their entire album (I believe) plus a new song.

At times I thought I caught them getting caught up in the excitement - which was refreshing to see. They played off the crowd nicely and showed a bit of humour (see the posts’ title).

Surprisingly there was no encore. My friend argued that that was great - that they only have one album and have to earn an encore. Who knows.

Tonights concert kicks off 3 weeks of great music for me. I have tickets to Clap Your Hands Say Yeah and Hard-Fi and I’m eagerly anticipating both. I’ll let you know how they go.

Go see Arctic Monkeys if you get the chance, especially while you can catch them in a small venue.
