Burning Alive with Think About Life April 14.07

Think About Life and Clyffs treated a large crowd of indie poppers to the new sounds of Montreal on the night of April 14th, 2007 at Back Alley Music. The show was one of the first bigs ones I had put on at the independent record store; it would not be the last.

The most memorable moment of the evening came during the middle of Think About Life's set; it was a moment no one would soon forget. As the swaying reached extremes and the busy bodies began to proceed to all out dance moves Martin held his set list in one hand, and asked someone for a lighter. Within moments the paper was up in flames, licking the low ceiling as the chords rung out. Just when we thought the ceiling would catch fire. promising us all to an early death the flame fell to the floor and was quickly stomped out.

The crowd let out a collective sigh and tapped their shoes, swung their hips, and clapped their hands with youthful abandon glad to be alive.
