The opening act for our return to the Théâtre Corona was Po Lazarus, a self described passion rock band from here in Montreal. That title does seem to fit them well as you could feel the passion oozing out of lead singer Joshua Carey as he walked along the stage and belted out their songs. The groups beginnings lead back to their time at Concordia University and I read a story about them once taking the shuttle bus between the Loyola and downtown campuses in order to play at Reggie's the University student bar. That's a tale I can appreciate as I ended up taking that shuttle ride a few times during my days at Concordia as well. Their set was rather short, but they were still on stage long enough to leave a positive mark in the minds of all who were in attendance. They were promoting their most recent EP, Despair, Too, which has some strong Canadiana to it as it was recorded at The Tragically Hip's Bathouse Studio. A little of that Hip magic must have rubbed off on them because they sounded great. The first photograph was taken at f/3.2, 1/125sec, ISO 6400 at 33mm. Here are several more photographs that I took during their set.
