Wolf Alice just played a sold out show at Toronto's History. They’re on the road promoting their latest album, The Clearing. It’s a fantastic album that continues the band’s progression and continued evolution.
Wolf Alice has become my favourite band with their music performances, musicianship and songcraft.
It’s sad that Joff has not been in the lineup for the last two Toronto shows. His replacement did a great job of filling in on the guitar parts.
I’ve been lucky enough to attend every one of their headlining shows in Toronto. I’ve been privileged to shoot each of those shows except for The Opera House show.
It’s wild that it’s been ten years since I saw their first Toronto show at the Drake Underground. The band has come so far and produced so much incredible music, building on the definition of what Wolf Alice music can be with each release.
In addition to stepping up their musical output, they’ve stepped up their stage show with more elaborate outfits, a fashion fan to give Ellie some dramatic looks and even bubbles during their final tune, "Don’t Delete the Kisses".
Their set was heavy on songs from the recently-released album The Clearing including "Bloom Baby Bloom", "Just Two Girls", Bread Butter Tea Sugar" and my current fave, "The Sofa" but wasn't short on favourites from the past, including "Your Love's Whore", "Bros", "Silk" and "Giant Peach". They closed the main set with "The Sofa" and came back out for an encore of "Don't Delete the Kisses".
What a magical night. If you get the chance, don't miss their show when they come to a town near you.
As I mentioned, I've covered them a few times in the past. Please click through for photos from Wolf Alice Toronto shows at:
