Rawk You Like A Hurricane
And the award for most energetic performer goes to ...
Of all the shows I've caught this weekend, the remarkable energy level of one musician has stood out from the pacｋ. From the moment he took to the White Stage on Sunday afternoon Broken Social Scene's John Crossingham was a rock n' roll machine. Like a kid hopped up on waaaaaaay too much sugar, Crossingham was bouncing around with a giant smile as the Canadian collective launched into their first number. From that point on there was no stopping him. He jumped and danced, sang back-up vocals on several tracks, ran over to a second set of drums and briefly pounded away on the kit, and did his best to get the already extremely excited crowd even more fired up. Pumping his fist, waving his arms, and leading mass clap-alongs, he was almost like the band's unofficial cheerleader. This was all in addition to his excellent guitar playing. Spurred on by his music loving peers, the louder the crowd got the more wound up Crossingham became, striking big rock poses and faces.
An occasional member of the group, it looks like Crossingham enjoys getting to be a rock star every now and then. His full-time band, the criminally underrated Canadian act Raising The Fawn, make music that's more dramatic and subdued than BSS. Just as moving as BSS, the lack of a pop edge makes Raising The Fawn's songs hard to "rock out to."
Constantly on the move, I'm having a hard time trying to think of an instance where he stood still for any extended period of time. Drenched in sweat by the end, Crossingham was the last member of BSS to leave the stage, hyperactively waving and grinning from ear to ear as he made his exit. A talented musician and great showman, John Crossingham gets a big rock n' roll salute from yours truly. Playing a major part in BSS' amazing afternoon set, you'd be hard pressed to find a harder working individual at this year's fest.
Along with BSS, do yourself a favour and check out Raising The Fawn. Crossingham plays guitar and sings in the excellent Toronto trio. If you like well-written powerful indie rock you'll definitely enjoy RTF.
