Cold Wet night in Toronto and Sleigh Bells and CSS set out to conquer the dreaded Sound Academy in downtown Toronto. Data Romance (Vancouver) and Princeton (US) opened up the show. Here's what people said about the sold out show:
Data Romance
@Miss_Jo_Vos @WoodandWires they were first up. done and done... Wishing they would've cut princeoton's set so DR could have played longer. (IKDK: The only related comment we could find on the Canadian band from last night)
Princeton
There was some varying opinion on this next band and if they really fit the bill. In the end I think they won over some new fans:
@QueenWestStyle Princeton the band is amazing!!!
@Miss_Jo_Vos @WoodandWires they were first up. done and done... Wishing they would've cut princeoton's set so DR could have played longer.
@Miss_Jo_Vos @emilyjeanwhalen sound sans epic, let's just leave it at that. #Princeton
@Miss_Jo_Vos Wow. Princeton sucks. (IKDK: I don't think she liked Princeton)
@melodylamb: Okay, this opening band isn't bad but what the hell are they doing opening for Sleigh Bells/CSS? #wrongpairing (IKDK: I think Miss Jo Vos would agree)
@melodylamb @princetonmusic Great set tonight in Toronto! Coming back anytime soon?
Sleigh Bells
@crashstatus: I have absolutely no idea why CSS are headlining over Sleigh Bells.
@TJ_Muckle: Interesting, Sleigh Bells on before CSS tonight...at least I get to go to bed earlier now
(IKDK are huge fans of both bands so were quite surprised at the Sleigh Bells backlash towards CSS. Our understanding was this was a co-headlining tour. Some Sleigh Bells fans didn't agree)
@HawleyDunbar: Sleigh bells and CSS!!! memories of #coachella (@ Sound Academy w/ @crystalgibson)
@NathanPlastic: Crowd at the Sound Academy looks so wholesome/hip/harmless; not expecting a very crazy moshpit. #sleighbells #CSS (IKDK: People still mosh?)
@marla_hooch: At the Sleigh Bells show with @sgt_terrible, where they're selling deep fried pickles. Sooo tempted to get some right now.
@jacquelinesaik: Sleigh Bells soooooonn bitches @ Sound Academy
@itunescanada: Ready for Sleigh Bells to take the stage. Judging by the number of amps on stage it's going to be loud.
@kevgordon: That's a lot of amps for Sleigh Bells http://t.co/V7hlcnn
@min_o: Wow room to dance + 19+ crowd at the Docks. Sleigh Bells & CSS!!!
@stoposcillate: at sleigh bells & css with @jayymah! let the sloppy dancing begin!!
@mwjoffe: Sleigh Bells taking a page out of KISS' book, decorating the stage with unused speakers. Looks cool, I'll give em that.
@laurentoyota: What is everyone taking pictures of at the Sleigh Bells show!? A cloud of smoke and laser beams #soundcloud
@melodylamb: Question of the night: is Sleigh Bells going to be as impressive a second time around?
@jacquelinesaik: Fucking sleigh bells @ Sound Academy http://instagr.am/p/EYXBw/
@ristiensummrs: Sleigh Bells? Not sure can't see through all the fog http://yfrog.com/hsos6vqj
@mwjoffe: Dear Sleigh Bells: a little shadow = mysterious. The entire set = really? What are you hiding from?
@greggterrence: The sound @soundacademy sucks. Either that or Sleigh Bells sucks. I'll know for sure once CSS takes the stage. (IKDK: it's probably Sound Academy Gregg)
@melodylamb Not even earplugs can save your eardrums here. (IKDK: must be all the speakers)
@melodylamb Remember when Sleigh Bells were charming and fun? #pleasestopplaying
@LizzzBlizzzz: The lead singer is wearing his band's shirt - lame, but not as lame as alexis from sleigh bells wearing the jersey every night
@iheathen: Sleigh Bells sounding pretty intense at sound academy tonight!
@arianneglavina: Sleigh bells opened with Iron Man they are my new fave band omfg (IKDK: omfg=Oh My Fucking God)
@punkstrife: I may be gay, but I think I'm I love with a girl. Sleigh bells just kicked my ass. (IKDK: Chasing Alexis)
@drunkgirlcomics: Woo Sleigh Bells killed it @soundacademy !
@mrs_the_monarch: Sleigh Bells - so fucking awesome. Please someone tell me you recorded the intro/first song http://t.co/ekomxgy
@fistf**k4: Sleigh Bells crowd. You're all fucking losers. Shame on you for the lack of enthusiasm you showed them. Stay at fucking home you ...... (IKDK: hmmmmm....I don't think this guy was enjoying himself)
@WoodandWires: If Sleigh Bells' sets got any shorter, people would be asking for refunds.
@jacquelinesaik: Sleigh Bells. See them live. It'll make your life better. @ Sound Academy http://instagr.am/p/EYbYo/
@jaredsales: Sleigh Bells killed it at Sound Academy. (IKDK: drunkgirlcomics just said that)
@_chialike: Under the influence of a million different things. Sleigh bells was fucking glorious l songoodddd (IKDK: What?)
@adambullied: Danced it up at the Sleigh Bells show! Now home to get some work done!
@turntablescraps: Sound Academy for Sleigh Bells/CSS. everyone here has snakebites... I feel like an old man and I'm 23 tomorrow #welp
@kushane: Sleigh bells r pretty sweet.
@kushane: Also I believe I'm in love with the girl from sleigh bells
@jarira: How much of a live Sleigh Bells set is actually live? Either way, I'm fucking deaf right now
@taylorivers: Alexis from sleigh bells held both hands with me, grabbed my head, took off my hat, I lifted her onto the crowd. BEST. I LOVE SLEIGH BELLS.
@NothingButNebi: Sleigh bells was sooo intense! Raged a little bit but I got my jersey! :D
CSS
@greggterrence: Wow. Place half emptied after #sleighbells. CSS is a far more mature band, they are missing out. (IKDK: Definately missing out!!!)
@drunkgirlcomics: Why is everyone leaving before CSS?! (IKDK: Good question!!)
@LEOPINDAR: Front row @SoundAcademy for CSS. Good opening act We Dare To Romance. Too bad they didn't get to play a last song. (IKDK: close; thats Data Romance)
@LEOPINDAR: Def Leppard - Animal playing before CSS takes the stage. AWESOME!
@mwjoffe: At the sound academy for CSS. I am loving the smaller half venue setup.
@FreddyEnriquez: Great set by Sleigh Bells! Looking forward to CSS! @LindsayKSinger @joyghosh
@raymitheminx: Watching retards like zombies in dawn of the dead from biz meazzanine
@soundacademy @sleighbells waiting for css pumped
@fredmoesker: Hanging w/ the kids... For CSS
@a_hooch: CSS has the same hair as me! I don't know her name so I'm just gonna call her CSS.
@raymitheminx: Aaaaaaamazzzzzing css! @soundacademy wowwwow loud aghhhhh http://twitpic.com/4z3l9h
@michaelkim: Sweet, Lead singer of CSS has a Ratatat Tshirt on tonight. Saw them open for Daft Punk back in 2007? She screaming take off your pants!!!
@HawleyDunbar: Lead singer of CSS is rocking a Ratatat shirt. She probably got it at #coachella hahha
@raymitheminx: RT @drunkgirlcomics: Love loving CSS @soundacademy with the Lady Minx @raymitheminx !
@drunkgirlcomics: CSS headexplode! Thx @raymitheminx !
@ConstanceChan: CSS just played omg my heart exploded http://twitpic.com/4z42g1
@greggterrence: OK. I thought CSS was far more pro and evolved than Sleigh Bells, but they weren't amazing. Solid, but the sound @soundacademy was horrible.
@denisepinto: Just got back from Sleigh Bells. So good, so sweaty, bones are ringing. http://bit.ly/bExICJ (expand) CSS' Lovefoxxx was super cute also!
@jacquelinesaik: I felt undrunk dancing to Sleigh Bells & CCS. But walking around and sitting, I feel more drink then I have in a whiles. #deceptiveece
@melodylamb There are no words to describe how disappointed and pissed off I am at tonight's show. No words. #mustwritereviewthough
@rob_duffy: @melodylamb That makes a lot of sense. CSS were a big time flash in the pan. And Sleigh Bells? Who cares.
