This was my twelfth time seeing Moneen live, but the first in about 16 years. They had as much vim and vigour as they ever did, joyously blasting through their now classic "Are We Really Happy"album. An absolutely fantastic evening, 10/10, would recommend.
Moneen, for the entirety of their existence, has simply been one of the best live bands on the planet. Their unmatched eneregy, enthusiasm and love for their craft and fans is amazing to see in-person.
Amazing energy, still, after all these years. Great sounds and views from around the venue.
Probably one of the greatest shows that I have watched in years. You can never go wrong with crowd surfing and stage diving. I wish all events were at The Horseshoe and I wish Moneen would would play there every week.
I cannot say enough good about this show. All three acts were impressive, and I woul;d say Moneen's was actually explosive. Just raw energy and feeling, I cannot think of one negative thing to say. Every single song was played with effort like they were band new to the scene, engaging the audience and giving it 110%. Hands down one of my 10 favourite shows ever, and I have been to many.
These guys put on an unreal show. Best one I've been to in years. the Pawn Shop was a great venue to see them in because of the intimacy of it, but they could for sure play bigger venues if they wanted to. Which I hope they don't. lol
It was definitely the best show I have ever been to. .Moneen. is just so into their crowd and their music and you can definitely see that in how they perform. I would go see them every time they come to edmonton, no doubt about that. all the aches and pains and bruises that you get from going to their show is oh so totally worth it. everything about their show is worth it because it's just amazing.
Moneen hadn't been back in Calgary for a long time, and their set last night felt like it was never going to start, but as soon as it did all that time didn't matter anymore. It was a bar show, so you couldn't reallt expect it to start any earlier, and the vibe in the bar was great. Seemed like everyone was there to enjoy some great music. Moneen commented in a Calgary paper a week or so ago about what it is like to play at a bar show. They mentionned that they play so hard at bars because they have oppourtunity with that small audience to give people one of the best shows they will ever see. Absolutely they did. Endless amounts of energy and constant crowd intereaction.
