Therion and NaNo
Division and I had such a blast Friday night, playing our last show of 2007 and playing host to a great band. We had the honor of playing at Jaxx (last time till March, kids!) and it was the last date of the U.S. tour for what-the-hell-do-you-even-call-them band, Therion. The easiest way to explain Therion is this. I have no idea how it works.
The band features four vocalists, two male and two female, and an instrumental section that makes its living kicking people in the head. The music is heavy and straightforward, and the vocals provide such a myriad of textures that you simply don't know what's coming next.
Minnesota-based Aesma Daeva was Therion's touring partner, and they are a damned laugh riot. They interrupted the encore by appearing on stage with a cardboard boat, plastic viking helmets and axes. I thought I was going to cough up a lung, I was laughing so hard.
Locals Burning Shadows and Almost Human opened the show and really set the stage for us. We were so thankful that every band played and mingled without ego or incident.
Special congratulations to the contest winners; Candy Caine, Alicia Smith and Suzanne Glover. It was fun to finally break out "The Collector" on people.
Now, it's November, which means more NaNoWriMo. Time to get back to writing episode THREE in the Catwalk series, tentatively titled "Catwalk: Mercy Killing". More to follow.
One Love!
