I really love Alex Lahey's music. High energy, loud guitars, catchy melodies and relatable lyrics all add up to some awesome tunes to rock out to. I was as excited for Lahey's opening set at Toronto's Opera House as I was for The Regrettes' headlining set.
I caught Lahey's afternoon set at Osheaga back in 2018, so I knew we'd get a fun set that I didn't want to miss.
We heard tracks from 2017's I Love You Like A Brother, 2019's The Best of Luck Club and their latest single "Spike the Punch". I loved hearing "I Love You Like a Brother", "Don’t Be so Hard on Yourself", "Every Day's the Weekend", and "I Haven't Been Taking Care of Myself" along with newer tunes like "I Don't Get Invited to Parties Anymore" and a cool cover of Faith Hill's "This Kiss". The full setlist is here.
My pics of The Regrettes set are here.
And here are a couple of great Alex Lahey tracks.
