The Besnard Lakes @ The Hare and Hounds

Hailing from Montreal, The Besnard Lakes are a 4 piece indie band.  They make great music.  Brilliant harmonies with distorted guitars and driving bass lines. Very atmospheric and at times, nothing short of beautiful.

Having only heard a couple of their songs prior to last night, I booked tickets and headed along not knowing what to expect.  Could they recreate their recordings live?  Yes they could!  It was brilliant!

From the opening song to the end of the set, the fairly large audience were captivated.  A good hour and ten minutes later they left the stage.

I would love to be able to give you the set but unfortunately I don't know their catalogue well enough.  I will by the time I see them play live again!
