Wild Nothing at The Great Hall - Concert Photos

American artists doing shows in Toronto have been apologizing for the political insanity taking place in their home country for a while now. They talk about Toronto's diversity and accepting nature. They talk about our Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and how lucky we are. Once the worst of all possible outcomes came to be about a year ago, they seemed even more appreciative about what we have here in Canada and are filled with uncertainty for the future of the USA.

When I caught Wild Nothing last year, they shared these feelings and I sympathized. Torontonians remember all too vividly the way things were under our own right wing lunatic with a glancing relationship with facts and the truth. And the closest to an international audience that guy got was his appearance on Jimmy Kimmel.

At least I can look back on Wild Nothing's beautiful music at their Great Hall appearance. Give them a listen:

"Paradise"

"To Know You" and "TV Queen"

"Only Heather"

"A Dancing Shell"
