Giddy Up

Since electro-pop outfit Sidney York disbanded, 2 of them have resurfaced in an all-women country act called Nice Horse. They are mostly based out of Alberta and only play a few shows in the rest of Canada. So when I heard they were doing a show at The Cameron House on Wednesday, I skedaddled on down. The curious pay-what-you-can crowd tonight wasn't a great fit for the hootenanny set. But there was one extremely excited fan, perhaps a little too much into their music. These ladies combined fun country music (Pony Up, Jim Jack Johnnie and José) with feminist themes (Mansplaining). Nice Horse is getting more traction than Sidney York, so I hope this will be the big break for them.
