SATE at The Silver Dollar Room - Concert Pictures

I might have a bit of a problem. Not only have I seen Sate perform, and photographed the incredible performances, five times now, she and the band are so photogenic, dynamic and just so damn into it, that I end up taking way too many photos. That leads to way too much time sifting through photos, picking out the best ones, tweaking and posting. But in the end it's all worth it because Sate and the band put on one of the best shows around, with amazing tunes and raw, impassioned delivery. I just have to share. To play off of Sate's name, they're always satiating.

If you haven't seen my previous pics, click on through to the first time I caught Sate, at The Horseshoe Tavern as part of the TURF Club Bonus Series, then check out her Sunday afternoon TURF performance at the festival proper, her fantastic show as part of Cover Me Impressed this past Boxing Day and her jam-packed headlining show at The Horseshoe in January.

She's got a CBC First Play taping coming up on April 11, so get in on that if you can.

This time I caught Sate as the third act of four to hit the stage at The Silver Dollar Room on Friday, March 19. Let me just say that Sate has never disappointed and this show was no different.

Sate owns the stage. With swagger, energy, confidence, passion and an immense amount of talent, Sate commands the attention of the audience, and in return, the audience experiences one of the best emerging artists in the city.

The band was as rock solid as ever. Giving the heavy with the groove during a short but satisfyingly intense set featuring highlights like "What Did I Do?", "Know My Name", their incredible cover of Black Sabbath's "War Pigs", "Warrior" and the big closing tune "Silence", before being demanded back to the stage by the crowd for an encore tune.

Take a listen to some Sate:

 "What Did I Do?"

"Try"

"Know My Name"

"Warrior"

"Silence"
