The Zolas have been one of my favourite bands for a while now. Their live show is always tons of fun, the tunes always get me moving and singing along, and the band’s attitude is contagious, spreading across entire audiences in mere moments. For this show, they were on tour with fellow west-coasters Yukon Blonde. My coverage of their set is here.

This Zolas set was strong with favourite tunes, live must-haves and a bunch of well-received new tunes. It was pretty much a perfect Zolas set. If I had to complain I’d just say it wasn’t long enough. But I'd always say that.

Make sure you check out new tune "Bombs Away", which is about being priced out of the housing market in big cities. We also heard a live debut of a song that might be called "Energy's Off" and a tune about throwing your phone away forever. Keep an eye open for the new Zolas album. Personally, I can't wait.

What about my previous coverage of the Zolas? Click the links for shots of them at The Ex, The Opera House, Riverfest Elora, NXNE, and Lee's Palace.

Check out a whole bunch of my favourite tunes from this night's setlist:

"Ancient Mars"

"Molotov Girls"

"Bombs Away"

"Freida on the Mountain"

"Knot in My Heart"

"Swooner"
