Is late better than never? I hope so, as this post certainly is seriously late.
Wee Fest '09 has come and gone. A full house (100 or so people) was on hand for this year's blast, and everyone got a pink construction hat to take home with them after the show.
This Wee Fest was the best yet, with 8 acts, ranging from solo folk acoustic through blues and into electronic duos, and David P. Smith (from Victoria) on his accordion.
Special mention must be made of 'Good Neighbours' a trio from Montreal who were in Fernie skiing the winter away. They used samplers and effects along with an electric guitar and bass, as well as keyboards and melodians to make what I would best describe as wonderfully engrossing mood music. (They opened for Bubba Tres on March 20th - see the next post)
Bubba Tres closed the show with confetti blowers, large balloons, claymation videos, costumes, drunken bunnies, and great music - ending their show by sharing the stage with David P. Smith for a couple of great songs. The audience went home truly satiated by the evening's entertainment.
The Arts Station theater was buried in a thick layer of yellow confetti from the show.
A must see for sure.
