NXNE 2007: Thursday

I need to tell you now that NXNE 2007 was one of the best times I've ever had in my life completely sober. Yes, that's right, I was driving around trying to catch as many bands as possible so some nights I didn't even have one drink. But the best part was the social aspect. The artists were all very accesible and friendly. So, to start off this series, here's what I got on Thursday:Perhaps I should've selected a photo of Jim Cuddy from Blue Rodeo as the lead photo for this article, but even though Blue Rodeo put on an amazing show, NXNE is really all about discovering new bands. So you're looking at Brant Bjork's tattoos as the lead photo instead. I kicked off NXNE by trying to see way too much in far too little time, but it was worth a try. There's just too much for one person to see during NXNE. Although it wasn't all planned out, I managed to see: Simon Wilcox, Lights, Disraelis, Camouflage Nights, Sleeping In The Aviary, Brant Bjork and the Bros, C'mon, Luke Doucet and Melissa McClelland, and wrapped up the night with Blue Rodeo.
