Montreal indie rockers passed through Seattle last week and instead of just hitting up some local record stores and moving on, they decided to drop by the mixtape for a chat (which you can listen to here) and then they went one step further and played a rockin’ show at The Crocodile. The band, which comprises guitarist-vocalists Warren Spicer and Nic Basque and drummer-vocalist Matthew ‘Woody’ Woodley have been known to describe their music as post-classic rock which, I feel, is especially evident in their song ‘The Mama Papa’ from the group’s 2nd LP, La La Land. The song is a bit of Head East mixed with a touch of Free and it rocks. I definately heard this one at the show but the video I took didn’t turn out all that great so, instead, watch the video to the song and listen to it below.

Having just discovered the group about one month ago I wasn’t quite sure what to expect from both the band and the overall turnout. I arrived to the Crocodile sometime after 9p to check out show openers Let’s Get Lost and Little Scream and to meet up with some friends. I had just missed Let’s Get Lost and Little Scream were to take the stage very soon. Hmm, what to do? Time for drinks! Ok. It’s always time for drinks. The path to the bar from the main stage floor was wide open as at this point in the night, the crowd turnout was something to be desired. Little Scream came and went and I was excited to see that more people were arriving to the venue.

After some helpful Croc crew took to the stage and shuffled around a few instruments and set up for the nights headliners, Plants and Animals were on. To start the night off, Plants and Animals opened with ‘Song for Love’, a track from their latest LP The End of That, which was just released this past February. It’s a tight, strong and well written rock song with lead singer Warren (or is it Nic? i’m not sure which dude is the lead. sue me.) screaming the lyrics ‘…I let you down/So it sounds…’ with the same amount of passion and urgency that you find on the recorded version of the song.

The crowd at the club remained small as the night wore on. Actually, maybe I should say the crowd at the club remained intimate. Yeah, let’s go with that one. Intimate. The enthusiasm for the band, however, made up for the lack of people in attendance. Plants and Animals played an impressive set closing the night with ‘Lightshow’, another tune from the The End of That LP.
