The record label describes Patrick Watson, the man and the band, as a “musical mad scientist.” His live show at Du Nord was proof. This photo is Exhibit A.
Dark, dreamy, and playful. Crooning, sweeping, and stomping. Like carnies on a pirate ship. Really-freakin’ talented carnies. Every member of the band displayed such musical chops, we’re still buzzing.
So what’s with the megaphones? See the rest »
We’re catching Patrick Watson at Cafe Du Nord on Saturday. Highly recommended.
