Lastnight was a pleasant surprise.
I have known the Bendecos by many names, and many incarnations. Some of these songs and riffs I have known for most of my life.
But never before had I heard these fellows play their music with such familiarity, and skill. The band itself has matured, and allowed the artists to grow within. The entire rhythm section has become incredibly tight, and effective, while the lead instruments/artists have gained an appreciation for presence, and definition within the audio spectrum.
Lastnight I experienced moments of not only chanting along with these songs, but actively encouraging them. I am glad to have gone.

P.S. Listen to Bendecos

It was the 1st of July when Toronto native Blues Punk band Bendecos played their 1st show. The day was hot and the night was hotter as fans crammed the Kathedral (Queen and Bathirsty in Toronto) for Frygirls second annual Pot festival. The moon was full and the air was fragrant...with lots of reefer smoke. A squeegy kid was hit by a car. A biker on a ten speed was hit by a car. Nine police cruisers showed up for an assault on a woman outside and fights were evident everywhere but inside the Pot fest. Psycadelic cookies at the door ensured everyone was in a perfect mood for Bendecos music. The sound sucked and things went wrong but a grande time was had by all. Although the show was less then full potential, The Bendecos have a karma in their music distinctly their own. Songs like 'Wish I had a burner in my hand' and 'friends call him Lu' make them a fresh and new element to the Toronto Underground. Way 5 stars.
