Stars come out @ VFest ’07 – Click to rate this photo

OK, Stars weren’t that wild but they still managed to put on an all right set – That’s right, I said all right…

Right now, I’m staring at Torquil Campbell (lead singer) from afar and giving him the nod of shame… How is it that I’ve seen the band twice (first time was at the UofT frosh gig) within the span of three days and they didn’t play my favourite Stars song of all time, Heart? I’m not going to lie but I’m kind of disappointed. It’s not just cos’ of the fact that they didn’t play my song but every single time (three times and one failed attempt when they first come out) I’ve seen them they managed to leave me feeling cheated.

Sure, they sound good live but they lacked the ‘umph’ factor… First of all, it felt like the band wasn’t really into playing the gig and secondly they weren’t engaging the audience in anyway…

Perhaps, I just have lofty expectations…

Here’s what they did play:

Take Me To The Riot
Set Yourself On Fire
Elevator Love Letter
The Ghost of Genova Heights
Midnight Coward
Reunion
Window Bird
Ageless Beauty
Your Ex-Lover Is Dead
