I wish he was doing the whole tour! I'm secretly hoping that their one gig will go so well that Damien will invite him on board for the rest of them and won't take no for an answer!

Five Leaves Left · 04-23-2007, 10:31 PM

he has his own tour going on this spring, so he'd hafta cancel a TON of dates in order to support for damien the whole tour

srahman24 · 04-23-2007, 11:18 PM

Sigh. I know - he's got no Canadian dates though.

Although, he is free on the 18th... Toronto's just a two hour flight from Kentucky... he could so make it for Damien's show

I personally don't mind the no-support idea for Toronto...... I like getting straight to the point

Five Leaves Left · 04-24-2007, 01:25 AM

i think Rachael Yamagata would be a great support act; just went on ebay and searched for damien rice stuff and a related search was "rachael yamagata," thought it was interesting, she's great

srahman24 · 04-24-2007, 03:10 AM

Oh there are a whole bunch of people that would fit with him... if she wasn't already touring the States I'd also vote for Vienna Tang. She's already done a great version of Cannonball...

Or, yes. Rachel - Happenstance was a delightful album

Like Adelaide said though, I really don't mind him coming alone (especially if it means a longer set by him!)

hmm, I hadn't expected to like it, especially since the chord pattern has actually been changed - but I find myself quite partial to it...... odd that.

alone would be good. someone supporting would be good.
can't wait for torontoooooooo

anyone know a good pub nearby to go to before the concert?

srahman24 · 04-25-2007, 04:43 AM

Well there's a bar in the venue itself (but I seem to remember it being overpriced).

Directly opposite the venue is Fran's, which is pretty cool for a pre/post gig meal/drink - it's open 24 hours and they have an all-day breakfast menu. And really, food wise, your best bets are in the all-day breakfast menu... (although I think they have good desserts too). You can get a meal and drink for $15-20 (or even less depending on what your order).

Also, right above Fran's is the Pantages martini bar and I think drinks are half price from 4-7pm... they used to be at least. The crowd will probably be a little dressier (i.e. business casual?) or people going for a drink before heading to the theatre, but it's pretty nice. It's one of our celebrity hotspots during the toronto international film festival...

Oh and just a bit of a walk away is the Imperial Public Library - I've never been there, but friends tell me the drinks are cheap and the crowd is mainly university students/locals so it's pretty laid back. And there's a Hard Rock cafe nearby too.

Love him, not that well known over here in the UK but have heard quite a bit of his stuff. He is doing a few shows over here to but sadly only in the north from what I can tell.
