I remember perusing Hifi's upcoming events calendar and thinking who is Manatee Battle Force, so I googled them and couldn't find anything then just forgot about it and moved on with my life. On saturday Michael Bernard Fitzgerald posted on his twitter "Calgary be at the hifi club tonight at 9pm! M anatee B attle F orce plays tonight. Success!" once he laid it out like that I finally figured it out. Jay and I opted out of trying to get in to see Said the Whale, to go to a secret MBF show, no brainer right? who doesn't like a secret show?
The concert was solid and MBF was really funny throughout the whole set, which featured a rendition of Baby Got Back and towards the end some Justin Bieber and Ke$ha; hilarious.
It was the first time I got to use the new camera at a show and it turned out ok but not great. I did not check the mic sensitivity so the audio peaks at a few spots and the stage was really dark so the video isn't the greatest looking thing in the interweb. Good news is that I now know how to fix those things and the upcoming video from the Twelves and Grum show Wednesday will be better.
So check out the inaugural concert video from Caspers Not Dead.
(click the video to go to youtube and watch in HD, seriously do it, its a fact HD>non -HD)
MBF sucks and it was a Plants and Animals show not a Said the Whale show, figure it out
ReplyDeleteNot too interested in Plants and Animals, just wanted to see Said the Whale
ReplyDeleteA MBF fan would say that
ReplyDeleteI just think its stupid to record music today to cassettes
ReplyDelete"Maybe that’s because they record to tape, and their records sound like they could have been made in 1972" -CBC Radio 3
stupid how so?
ReplyDeleteBut for all their analog warmth, it’s also impossible to deny how raw and recent the songs sound, and harder still to find anything else that sounds quite the same.
CBC Radio 3
just my opinion, its like Hockey night in Canada broadcasting in black and white instead of HD
ReplyDeleteSaid the Whale > Plants n Animals
