An Orchestrated Rise To Fall
The Album Leaf played The Plaza Club Friday Night.
Windows 78 opened the show. The local Vancouver four-piece played a solid set featuring rich musical layers along with a progessive and ambient tone. I was impressed with their performance and picked up their cd. Looking forward to doing a show with them in the future.
The Album Leaf came onstage and put on a solid set. Jimmy LaValle is pretty much The Album Leaf.....having recorded all the parts on his records himself. In a live setting, he is accompanied by a few other players to help bring his music to fruition. There wasn't much stage banter at all during the 1hr 15min set, just some beautiful texture provided by the violin and 4+ keyboards in use. There was a bit of a sound issue with the vocals and violin at points, but everything was resolved.

After The Plaza show, I ran off to do another show that night for FOG at the Pub 340. It went quite well. We sold out the venue and the bands and audience had a good time.
