Shai Hulud Show

Man, it was SO NICE to be at a Hong Kong show again. As much as I do enjoy shows in Toronto, there is something very special about seeing bands in Hong Kong. As much as saying that kids at shows outside of North America are much more excited, and do not take hardcore for granted has become a cliche, I think I have definetely come to agree with it. While it is a real treat to be in Toronto where the volume of bands passing through is super high, I have to say that in comparison to being in HK, where shows are definetely more sparse, I always got more excited about going to a show than I seem to in Toronto. Or maybe part of it is just being older? Who knows.

Anyhow, Shai Hulud came through and played at the Warehouse this past weekend, and even though it wasn't the most packed show I've ever been to, it was definetely packed with energy. The dudes in Shai Hulud were so nice too! Not just nice and friendly, but so incredibly humble. I was surprised to find out after the show that their front man is 19, I'm not sure why but I thought he was way older, I guess cause the band has been around for quite a while. This show was such a good start to the summer, and now I really can't wait to see Bane this friday, especially since King Lychee and the Lovesong are opening, two of my favourite HK bands, who I haven't seen play for a good while. It's going to be an awesome night!
