University days… well, nights, mainly

I was in Halifax for my university years and didn’t see a lot of bands, but then not a lot of bands I was interested in seemed to play there. So I saw… Teenage Head, Blue Peter, the Tenants, 39 Steps, Katrina and the Waves, Skinny Puppy, Grapes of Wrath, Moev, and some local bands like (I think) Sebastopol, Euthenics, and the October Game, the last one memorable because it was Sarah Mclachlan’s first show in front of a live audience. I remember not bothering to go see the Beach Boys, Billy Idol, or Bryan Adams, but I don’t remember many other big names coming through.

I figure stuff that turns into posts too long for anyone to engage on Facebook might as well go here instead, where I expect no one will engage with it, but at least it’s out there.
