Plants and Animals

One of the impressive things about seeing Montreal's Plants and Animals play live is noticing how they become their instruments. Front-man Warren Spicer shreds his guitar and sings so loud into the microphone that it starts to send feedback at him. Guitarist Nicolas Basque's fingers move so fast on his guitar, it's hard to keep up. And drummer Matthew Woodley moves as he's drumming in a way that his beats carry through his arms in a wave. So much power was put into the performance. The trio played most of the set as songs from their upcoming album, La La Land, and it was as if they've been playing them forever. Plants and Animals fans have a lot to look forward to.
