They were giving out free tickets at Brescia to see the Arkells this past Friday in the Mustang Lounge. I was so excited because I love the Arkells. It had been awhile since I had listened to some of their songs. I brought my boyfriend along and met up with some friends when we got there. The opening bands especially the Young Empires were fantastic. I was near the front of the line so when I got in I was able to get close to the stage. When the Arkells came on there were only two people in front of me. Everybody started to go crazy and race to the front. It started to become a mosh pit at the front. I stayed up there for a few songs but then went to the back where you didn’t have to fight for your spot.
The Arkells are a Canadian band from Hamilton. Some of there more well known songs are ‘The Boss is Coming”, “Whistleblower”, and “John Lennon”. They have many more songs that are very good and I would recommend looking them up if you like rock. Make sure to check out their website at http://arkells.ca/. They keep a blog and sometimes have free downloads of some of their songs.
