Memoryhouse at the El Mocambo Toronto April 13, 2012



Memoryhouse were at the El Mocambo last night promoting their Subpop Release The Slideshow Effect. Surprisingly this show wasn't very busy and by the time the band had finished 1/2 of their set around 12:30PM there was maybe only around 50 people left watching the show. Call it a Friday night or maybe people just don't want to be out after 12:00PM. I sure don't after a week of work. Great show from a band that has made Canada its home base.

Two Toronto bands opened up called Volcano Playground and Paradise Animals. Both had their mix of hit and miss tracks. Volcano Playground had some very good shoegazing moments whereas Paradise Animals had some funky moments.

Here's what they said on Twitter:

@memoryhouse: Toronto! I'm excited!

‏@sarahvandewalkr: Beers and memoryhouse soon. I am happppppppy (IKDK: Not to soon; they aren't coming on until Midnight

@IKvsDK: Memoryhouse #elmocambo #subpop

@memoryhouse: Sad to have missed that Pit/Philly game, sounds pretty amazing.

@IKvsDK: Waiting for memoryhouse to take the stage #12:00 #subpop

@imacgill: Memoryhouse are really good as usual. Too bad there is such a small crowd here to watch them.
