After a cramped, joke-filled, 6.5 hour bus ride, Eli and I landed (rolled?) into the beautiful city of Montreal on Wednesday (Jun 23, 2010) , to find Rolz (now 1990) and Max Milla waiting for us.
Big Beanz & 1990 @ Le Belmont
After settling in, going over our set list and of course, making a much needed beer run (way too many adventures in that little 5 hour stretch to explain), we set off down Clark to Le Belmont. When we got there, the place had yet to fill up but WB was amped!!
CBWB rockin the stage @ Le Belmont
When the time came to rock the stage, I was surprisingly calm. I guess having the guys beside me helped to take the edge off, plus the audience was amazing. We had one of our best sets yet and had most definitely warmed the people up for what was to come. There was a whole new energy in the room.
10 minutes later, Aloe Blacc took the stage backed by a three-piece band (guitar, bass and 
drums) and really put on a unique show. His rendition of Micheal’s “Billie Jean” had me close to tears and his desire to bring awareness to the world about things such as poverty and politics was truly inspiring. An encore was inevitable, but even that was done in his own special way, as he asked the audience to sing him a song while he spoke with the band… Of course yours truly took over and quickly got the whole place singing “You Are My Sunshine” 🙂 It was AWESOME.
After the show, Beanz, Roly and I were so high on life, and so motivated to make even more happen for WB.. and on that high we ran down the streets of MTL in the rain, letting this adventure called life carry us around the city.. spreading music, dance and simply fun times…*sigh
Now back in Toronto, WB is preparing for our EP release party on Canada Day (July 1st, 2010) at The Rivoli. There is still some work to be done before then but I am so excited to see everyone there showing love and support.
Montreal I love you, and I shall be back 😛
ttfn, Cici Bow
Ps.. We are still looking for beats so SEND ON!!!
