[ATTENDED: January 20, 2023] THE OBGMs
I was really excited for the show–the Melanated Punk Mini Tour featuring Oxymorrons and The OBGMs (who I didn’t know but after listening to them, I realized how good they were. At the last minute, Pinkshift was added to the bill, which made things even better!
The show was listed as starting at 7:30 (which on a Friday night usually means a lot of traffic). Bu then Pinkshift said the fun started at 7, so my son and I left stupidly early to avoid traffic and arrived earlier than ever only to find out that the show did not start at 7.
And that’s fine. It’s nice to be early. Also, that Pinkshift wasn’t the first band.
The OBGMs (The oOohh Baby Gimme Mores) are from Toronto. They came out and proceeded to tear the roof off of the place.
After playing a weird riff that sounded like a wild version of Black Sabbath, the whole band started bashing out “Cash” from their new album The Ends.
Dreadlocked lead singer Densil McFarlane also played guitar as he pogoed and screamed the lyrics. (more…)
