The Driveshaft tour finally made it to Canada with back to back concerts in Vancouver, Toronto, and Montreal. We lucked out and scored front row seats to see the band at the Bell Centre in Montreal.

They opened with You All Everybody and as everyone expected the crowd went wild. The Pace brothers were in fine form – Liam never sounded better, with brother Charlie on background vocals.

It’s hard to remember all the songs they played so I won’t be presenting a set list..but imagine everyone’s surprise when they closed the concert with You All Everybody – yes, their greatest hit twice in one night.

While the Oasis influence is obvious on many songs, the boys did play new material (co-written by Charlie and Liam) – hard rockin and very original – the band is definitely carving out its own niche.

For anyone who hasn’t seen Driveshaft, do yourself a favour and fly out to their next gig or concert. Just don’t fly Oceanic.
