Scream like your being swallowed by a whale

Last night I attended The Decembersits concert with my sister at the Sound Academy. It was amazing. If you don't know who The Decembersits are you should get on that ASAP. They didn't play just one album they played a variety of songs from their albums. The concert started out with the voice of the Mayor of Portland (home town of the decemberists). He asked everyone in the audience to introduce themselves to the person on either sides of you. The voice was hilarious and un-expected.

Heres the set list from last nights awesome concert!
1. Song for Myla Goldberg
2. Down by the water
3. Calamity song
4. Rise to me
5. Wont want for love
6. The Crane wife 3
7.The sporting life
8. The engine driver
9. All Arise
10. January Hymm
11. Dont carry it all
12. The rake song
13. 16 military wives

Encore
1. The Chimbly sweep
2. The Mariners Revenge song

Encore
1. June Hymm

I was thrilled with the set list. I thought that January Hymm was perfect for the evening that was unfolding. Snow hit Toronto which was ironic because the song is about shoveling snow. I think the original singer of The crane wife 3 (The Hazards or love) sings the song better however the song was still amazing.


Colin taught the crowd how to scream like your being swallowed by a whale for the encore number The Mariners Revenge. This song is hilarious! and the band kept doing funny things. At one point during the concert Colin went into the crowd and took someones camera and then brought it up on to the stage and begun to take picture of the band as well as the crowd. The entire band was definitely feeling the alcohol during the concert but it was hilarious and made the concert even better.

My sister and I had VIP seats for the first time at the Sound Academy. They were awesome. Great view without any heads blocking. We got to see the concert from the balcony which was interesting especially when Colin asked the entire crowd to sit down, then at once the entire crowd stood up. It looked awesome from above. We had seats, our own coat check (and for anyone who ever has been to the Sound Academy before and have checked your coat you are well aware it takes almost 30 minutes to get your coat), we had our own fancy bathrooms and two bars. The floor was packed and I was glad I got to enjoy this concert in comfort from my seat.

Tons of fun, awesome band.

Here's a Youtube video i found of the Mariners Revenge. You can see and hear whats its like to be swallowed by a whale. The video's not the best quality but it is still good. Enjoy.
