Moist with special guests Ginger

Reviewed by Vince Yim

The boys are back in town!
After a two and a half long years
and a new album, British
Columbian favorites Moist
came to town to rock Prince
George again. After fifteen
minutes of rampling with the
person at the gate (“Hi, my
name is Vince Yim, I’m from
Over The Edge, the student
newspaper at UNBC. I was told
that you were supposed to have
two passes for me and a

photographer. What the @#%#-

do you mean that you don’t
have them? MCA said that
they’d be here!”), I finally
managed to get in
(unfortunately, a slight mix up
made it so we couldn’t get the
photographer in...sorry!).

The opening act Ginger
received a rather lukewarm
reception. Composed mostly of
former members of The Grapes
of Wrath, they did an adequate
job of warming up the audience
for headliner act.

After a thirty minute potty
break, Moist graced the stage
with their presence. Despite the
rather poor level of acoustics of
the Civic Centre, Moist put out

a more than adequate effort to
make up for that. They
performed the usual favorites
such as “Push,” “Resurrection,”
and “Silver,” among many

others that kept the crowd
rocking.

Unfortunately, frontman
David Usher suffered some
neck injury while performing
in Calgary. While this resulted
in him being about as stiff as
a board, it was also a likely
factor in hampering his level
of vocal performance. Usually
having a very powerful voice,
his voice started dying while
they were performing
“Ressurection” (so bass player
and backup vocalist Paul
Pearce had to fill in for some
parts). Perhaps they weren’t
into it and didn’t really feel
like performing?

Many concert goers were
ultimately disappointed by the
performance that Moist put on
that night, being that they
usually have some of the most
energetic performances. The
set was also rather short
(being less than an hour and a
half), missing some key songs
such as “Leave it Alone”
among others.

Being the first Moist concert
I have been to, I had a good

time. Barring the fact that I

was repeatedly elbowed and
kicked in the head by
undisicplined high school kids
(who composed roughly 70%
of the crowd), I thought Moist

did a descent job of keeping
the crowd entertained.
However, somehow it did seem
that the band members weren’t
really up to snuff on
performing for the crowd,
which did seem to leave the
feeling that something was
missing and could’ve been
improved.

The Good: I got kicked in the
head, kicked in the face,
kicked in the nose, had a crowd
surfer fall on my head, lost a
contact lens (thank goodness
for spares), but surprisingly
still had my wallet and keys
when I left. On top of that, I
FOUND A QUARTER. Did I
have a good time? Most
definitely!

The Bad: | can’t put my finger
on it, but for some reason,
something seemed missing. A
sense of energy perhaps? Or
maybe the level of acoustics in
the Civic Centre...

The Ugly: Twinkies here,
Twinkies there, Twinkies
Twinkies EVERY WHERE!

Rating: 7/10
(Special thanks to MCA Concerts

for providing Over The Edge with
access to the concert.)
