Live Reviews:
NORTH BY NORTHEAST 1999
Featuring:
Mean Red Spiders
June 11, 1999
El Mocambo (Downstairs), Toronto, Ontario
Putting their unique indie style to work at the Elmo has never been a task
for the Mean Red Spiders or at any club for that matter. There is a reason that these people have a strong
following; they know how to make good fucking music. Tonight, the band played an especially solid set filled
with a frenzied love for weirdness. It was nice to see a full Elmo for a
change, seeing as how the venue hasn't exactly been raking in the audiences
lately. Maybe if they brought in more bands like MRS, they wouldn't have to
worry about paying off the bill for that goofy sign.
