The second day of Riverfest Elora also brought me out for my second night at an afterparty. This one was in the basement of The Elora Legion featuring The Anti-Queens. I’d been seeing a lot of buzz on the band and I really wanted to see them live. When I saw them on the Riverfest line-up, I knew this was my chance, and it was a performance worth staying up late for.

The band was promoting their debut full-length album, which came out in September. They played a really solid set including new single “Worse than Death”. When they started their set, the audience mostly hung back and took in the performance. It didn’t take long for the crowd to move in closer and start enjoying the band up close and personal, just as it should be.

This was a band I’d been wanting to see for a while and I was fully won over by their high energy, awesome presence and amazing tunes. Give their music some time with your ears and do not miss their next live show near you. Get up close and personal while you still can; this band will be blowing up in no time.

All of my Riverfest Elora 2019 posts can be accessed from one master post here. I hope you'll take a look and a listen.

"Worse than Death"

"Ladders"

"Grow Up / Stay Young"
