Oct 10 Montreal, city of all wonders

We came back to play in Montreal after an absence of 2 years… A first home gig in Montreal, after spending the last 2 years touring across Europe several times, China, Taiwan, Japan, Australia, as well as releasing the album “Between Illness And Migration” in Japan, Australia, Canada, in Europe soon, and filming 3 video clips for the songs that appear on the album… Feeling out of breath? We also were! However, this home gig came as a fresh breeze upon us all, a little haven of rest for our minds and spirits (but not so much for our bodies)!

We left Drummondville in the afternoon, over excited about the show that we were about to play! We reached the Club Soda and met the crew working there, a truly awesome bunch of people! Load in started around 6:00pm, followed by a quick sound check. People started coming in as the guys went downstairs in the dressing room! We stretched, changed, talked a little about the show that was on a strict time frame, and then I went back upstairs to find a spot close to the stage amongst the 950 people who sold out the venue that night.

I waited not so patiently surrounded by people I did not know and had never seen before, but who definitely knew YFE and were looking forward to see them live! “I am telling you, dude, I have seen them live once before, and their singer is crazy and jumps everywhere all the time, and their guitarist with the long hair is like a beast… THEY’RE INSANE” have I heard someone say. Yep, that’s a part of the band on stage! The intro started, and the band appeared on stage; we could only see their shadows through the dim light, like ghosts from another world… They opened the show with the song “A View From Within” with Sef playing his guitar with a violin bow… And the songs followed one after the other, giving the audience an unbridled 40 minutes of concert that the everyone welcomed with some major head banging! Alex jumped in the crowd during Midnight’s Crashing, and went all the way to the end and back on stage, and went back walking in the crowd a little later, hugging people as he walked by them, singing to them and with them. People screamed at every move Sef made, and seemed to be delighted every time he was getting closer to the stage, gathering closer and closer every time! The song “Open Your Eyes” has been a huge success as well. First song heard by the long time fans of the band, we could hear the title resonate from every corner of the venue. Needless to say, when the song started, the heat in the venue rose as well! We finished the show and started unloading, wondering why we haven’t played more often in Montreal in the last 2 years!

And then came the best moment… Being with you all! That’s the true gift and the real privilege in every concert we play! Thank you so much for everything you’ve given us… Last night, we could fly, and it was because of you, for this chance you took at living and sharing the moment with us!

We just can’t wait to see you guys again!
