I saw the show in Calgary on July 1 at "the Whiskey". Totally amazing show. Baltimore rap-weirdo CEX opened (he was great), before the Organ played. Wasn't a big fan of the Organ, but anticipation may have gotten the best of me.

The New Pornographers delivered a flawless performance. An absolutely amazing hour and a half show that included every song that I had hoped they would have performed. A total freaking winner of a show.

Do not miss this band live. Ever.

Their t-shirts are great as well. HORSE----50 M.P.H. NEW PORNOGRAPHERS----100 M.P.H. (guy running with a martini glass racing a horse). Odd/beautiful, like the music.

It was also great to see them so amazingly well-recieved in Calgary, though it was expected.

Fabulous show.

I had a simply loverly time at the Saskatoon show, truly a great performance. The Organ were good, if a bit of a one note band. Kinda like a female Interpol I thought, though not nearly as good. But what a show by the Porns. You could record these guys live to two track and it would make a great album. Kurt Dahle is a wild man on the skins, Carl is a really nice feller who was kind enough to chat with me a little post-show, and Neko just has an amazing voice. Great, great show, totally sold out, they were turning people away at the door. Hope they return soon.

I would've went but it was 18+.

Dude, you weren't actually born in '91, were you?

No no, 91 is my house number...that would make me 12 (I'm actually 17)...I have NEVER seen a 12 year old like "indie rock" before, let alone post on a message board about it.

Haha, I like how the question was worded.

Exactly! We're always interested in demographics... that would indeed have been highly unusual. Though I know one guy who was making his dad take him to GBV shows at 12. Thanks Squall.

Patrick Okay, so was that meant to sound sarcastic?

[Patrick]

oh and as for the organ, they really seemed to try their best to look as unhappy as possible throughout their set. doesn't really compliment the personality of the np's.
