[DID NOT ATTEND: December 8 & 9, 2021] Stars / Shamir [was Lloyd Cole]
Back in the early 2000s Stars was one of my favorite bands. They write clever, thoughtful pop with gorgeous harmonies from Torquil Campbell and Amy Millan.
Stars doesn’t come around all that often and I really wanted to see this tour. When I heard that Lloyd Cole was opening, my mind was blown. I didn’t Lloyd Cole was till making music–that’s pretty cool.
These shows were at Le Poisson Rouge which I learned last time I Went there, is a super duper pain in the ass for me to get to. And these shows were midweek. I just don’t know how I would have managed it. So when they announced that they were going to play World Cafe in Philly, well that made everything all better.
It also transpired that Lloyd Cole had to cancel at the last minute. He was replaced by Shamir, another artist I would love to see live. But it just hasn’t happened yet.
So Stars, please don’t be gone for too long, I’d love to see you. (Especially since your set was 24 songs!)
