I think that every time we see Montreal-Toronto band Stars, we should share the best quote from Torq for the night. For their Danforth Music Hall show on December 20, that quote would have to be, "Fucking kill fascism with love and beauty! Keep doing it for Gord!" Do it!

Stars filled The Danforth Music Hall for the first of two nights of fantastic Christmas celebration. The set was filled with favourite songs like "The Night Starts Here", "Hold On When You Get Love and Let Go When You Give It", "Take Me To The Riot", "From The Night", a cover of Erasure's Christmas tune "She Won't Be Home", "Ageless Beauty", "Trap Door", "I Died So I Could Haunt You" (I love that concept), "Elevator Love Letter" (a personal favourite that goes through my head so often when I'm waiting for the elevator at the end of a long work day), "No One Is Lost" (an rousing tune of gaining strength from insecurity and doubt), and an encore that included "Your Ex-Lover is Dead" and finished with their amazing cover of "Fairytale of New York".

Stars are one of my all-time favourite bands and they prove why every time I see them perform and listen to their music. Here are a few of my favourites from this set.

"Hold On When You Get Love and Let Go When You Give It"

"Take Me To The Riot"

"Soft Revolution"

"Ageless Beauty"

"I Died So I Could Haunt You"

"Elevator Love Letter"

"No One Is Lost"

"Your Ex-Lover is Dead"

"Fairytale of New York"
