Everything Sucks, Not!

On Friday, I skipped out on the headliner of another show to see Dwayne Gretzky's annual 90s theme show at The Phoenix. No regrets though because it has gotten better with the years. Although being the 6th such event, we're approaching the show becoming almost as long as the decade.

In any case, one reason why it has improved with age is with more singers in the band, including the trio of Meg Contini, Lydia Persaud, and Jill Harris of The O'Pears, Carleigh Aikins, and a plethora of guests, the sets have expanded beyond only male rock. So you get gems like No Scrubs, Criminal, and Virtual Insanity. Of course, you also get All-Star. But we can enjoy that too, if only ironically because the performer sang it inside a giant inflatable balloon suit. It's also amazing to think DG has grown big enough to charge $40 and sell out both nights at the 800-capacity venue.
