The Effens at The Monarch - Concert Photos

It was March 11. The virus that would shut down much of the world, and the live music industry along with it, was looming for North America, and getting more foreboding every day, but life carried on. I didn't know it at the time, but this would be my last live music show for the foreseeable future. That fact is probably the most significant reason why I'm posting this so long after the show when I've had an abundance of free time to edit, write and post. Publishing this leaves a void.

It was another killer set from The Effens at The Monarch Tavern. I've seen this band a ton and I truly love them; their music, their live energy, their passion and their overall vibe. Their sound is unique with familiar sonic touchpoints. I love the impassioned vocals, the driving beat, the thick, rumbling low end from the bass and the massive guitar sounds. It was cool to hear one of my favourite tunes of 2019, "Human" live again.

Check out my photos of Control Top, who headlined this show at The Monarch Tavern, and Weeping Icon who were on tour with Control Top.
