are as good as Pearl Jam. if you haven't seen them then you simply cannot comment, if you've heard them and were indifferent but haven't seen them you simply cannot comment. I was pretty whatev till my friend took me last year now I love the shit out of them. This weekend I took my friend to Matt Good (easily one of her fav bands) for her birthday then jumped on the train and caught about the last 4/5s of a Constantines show; it was so good by the end of the night she was telling me we should have left the other show during the encore so we could see the whole thing. There is no point to this but I just had to exclaim to someone other than the friends who are sick of me wanking over this band,

    Just saw the Constantines at Virgin Fest in Calgary yesterday, and they were f**king awesome. Gord Downie came out on stage during their set and sang "Do What You Can Do" and I just about wet myself. It was amazing.
    "I try my best to chug, stomp, weep, whisper, moan, wheeze, scat, blurt, rage, whine, and seduce. With my voice I can sound like a girl, the boogieman, a Theremin, a cherry bomb, a clown, a doctor, a murderer. I can be tribal. Ironic. Or disturbed. My voice is really my instrument."

    Just rescuing this thread from page 4. I can't get enough of their new album.

    Pretty sure I saw them open for Sloan who opened for the Foo Fighters a few years ago. I thought they were pretty meh. I was really drunk though.
