Tuesday night in Toronto we were treated to a whole lot of musicianship and good times when the pride of Burlington, Ontario hit the stage at the Air Canada Centre in support of Mariana’s Trench and the Never Say Die Tour!
YouTube sensation Walk Off The Earth has come a loooong way since they blew up the internet with their cover of Somebody That I Used To Know… you know, the one with 5 peeps on 1 guitar.
In the 4+ years since the band has continued to pump out awesome covers of the songs people love, and also dropping two Top 10 records of their own pop songs. Seriously, check them out if you dig the covers.
Tuesday night they showed us a bunch of awesome – using the entire stage, more instruments than you can shake a stick at (including some instruments that aren’t instruments), showcasing some sweet harmonies, and generally putting on a show.
If there’s a single word you could use to describe Walk Off The Earth’s show… it’s ENTERTAINING.
The band played favorite covers Happy, Hello, Cheerleader, and of course, Somebody That I Used To Know (with Wrecking Ball, Rude & Wake Me Up mixed in) + originals Rule The World, Hold On (The Break), Home We’ll Go, Red Hands, the new album’s title track, Sing It All Away, and more, more, more…
Note: Really loved the call and answer throughout the show in prep for Sing It All Away. Prepare yourself for the next time you see the band…
WOTE: Oh oh sing it all away
Crowd: Sing it all away my darlings!
Yes, Walk Off The Earth was opening for Mariana’s Trench, but do not for 1 second think that they didn’t own that stage, control the crowd, and give everyone what they came for… Entertainment!
Now, check out the pics Trish snapped in the pit – and be ready for more from the Never Say Die Tour in Toronto coming up!
