THE INDIE MACHINE

I specifically made a point to go and see Toronto’s ‘The Ghost Is Dancing’ this past Thursday during CMW. It was a late start but that’s what CMW is all about, seeing as much music possible no matter what time it is. On this night, it was obvious this band, clearly enjoys what they do. Song after song they exuded an energy that was nothing short of amazing. Even when keyboardist Odie Ouderkirk lead them into a song they obviously hadn’t played in a while, they made it work. Then they followed it up with the ridiculously infectious ‘This Thunder’ off last year’s album ‘Battles On’. I can’t help but smiling when I hear that song, seriously. Perhaps the highlight of the night for me was their cover of ‘The New Pornographers’, Letter From An Occupant. Check out their myspace page and video for ‘This Thunder’ below.
