Feist’s Shadow

Let’s pretend that traveling from Canada to Australia (and back again) could cause a pause in time, like updates on websites could somehow get lost like luggage, only to suddenly spit out of the conveyor mouth, un-rumpled.

Feist and the gang just returned from playing St. Jerome’s Laneway Festival in Adelaide, Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane. And by gang I don’t just mean cool and the band, I mean a crew of other Canadians also happened to be there (like Stars and Broken Social Scene). This was a pack of ex-pat thieves, erstwhile cyclists stealing good times, silhouettes make-believe cycling into the sky, past the Australian moon.

Feist played to sold-out crowds, 6 shows and 2 headline dates. The drop cap image at the beginning of this entry is a picture of Feist’s shadow taking a photo of the Brothers Baird backing-up Broken Social Scene in Adelaide. Feist has three brothers in her band: Jay, Bryden and Jesse. They are not twins, I mean triplets. The Brothers Baird are not triplets.
