The Interrupters At MTelus

Sunday night at MTelus was headlined by California ska/punk band The Interrupters.  They've been entertaining their fans with their self-described 'unity music' since the the band formed in the early 2010's.  They call it 'unity music' because they like to make music the brings people together and the consider their fans to be one big family.  Something that is rather evident as singer Aimee Interrupter was already reaching into the crowd before the first song was over and was up to hugs and high-fives by the time we left the pit after the third song.  I only discovered them earlier this summer through local radio and was disappointed when I found out about their Spring show at Club Soda by a few days.  When I found out they were coming back, I didn't waste my time and found out the information I needed to get a photo pass and was more than happy I had done so.  The first photograph was taken at f/2.8, 1/800sec, ISO 3200 at 70mm.  Here are several more photographs that I took of their performance.

Wow, talk about a breath of fresh air.  I'd never seen The Interrupters live before, but I certainly would like to again.  Awesome attitudes and killer tunes, that makes for a crowd pleasing combination and the Montreal fans were more than happy to see them again.  They were touring to support their latest album, Fight The Good Fight, and you can find out more about The Interrupters by following the link to their website.  Thank you very much to Dan Hodge of the YMU Group for the pass, it was very much appreciated.  While you're clicking on links, don't forget to check out the photographs that I took of the two bands that opened the evening, Sharp/Shock and Skinny Lister.
