Second farewell tour in one week? Yikes!

It’s true. Straight Reads The Line had called it quits just over a month ago but decided to give fans one last chance to prove how crazy they can get. I’ve never seen Sneaky Dee’s so drenched in beer and water before, I thought the crowd was going to drown.  This was not a night to disappoint, even with gym shorts down. SRTL brought good friends Kingdoms (who are joining them for the better half of SRTL’s final tour) as well as Lifestory:Monologue, Heritage and Raid For Blood Diamonds.

If you want to see SRTL one last time, be sure to grab a ticket to a city near you (or far) as they are all going fast. A second show has even been added as their final FINAL show at The Casbah in Hamilton. I’ll see you there.

Thanks for the beer covered camera guys… it’ll be a show I never forget!

Well, all good things must come to an end.

Scary Kids Scaring Kids had eight strong years of loyal fans in tow at their final Toronto show. I remember listening to SKSK when I was back in high school, so I had to be there to capture this moment in time. It’s always too bad when a decent band goes down, but you’ve got to live in the moment and enjoy what you’ve got, and SKSK gave it their all. Supporting the Kids were The Sleeping, MOD SUN (drummer of SKSK), Hamilton’s own I Am Committing A Sin and In Lights, who hail from Uxbridge/Ajax.

Venue: The Hive
City: Kitchener
Date: December 22th/09

The lead singer of Kingdoms, Hutton, felt the Kitchener/Waterloo area had lost touch with it’s music roots concerning smaller, less expensive and more intimate shows. Therefore a bar’s basement, with a capacity for 80 people, was booked for a Kingdoms’ Christmas Show. Kingdoms’ shared the stage with good friends Lifestory:Monologue, Baptized in Blood and Counterparts.
