Though it's said that absence makes the heart grow fonder, Del Bel's return from a mini-hiatus was greeted with chatty indifference from the bulk of the crowd at this show. Their loss, as the band brought a whole bunch of tasty new material from their forthcoming sophomore album. Like the older stuff, it's metaphorically pitched somewhere between Lisa Conway's shy sorry-for-not-making-eye-contact demeanour and Ty Belluz's audacious belt buckle — slyly funky and subtly surging. A couple of the songs, including this one, featured several members of Bruce Peninsula on backing vocals.
