FREE SHOW: Johnny de Courcy with LEGS ∆ at the Cobalt, Tomorrow Night

I may not get to see the Dead Weather any time soon, but at least this Friday, I'll get to see Vancouver's LEGS ∆ - and for free to boot. LEGS ∆ open for Johnny de Courcy as part of the Cobalts' no cover Come Fridays, every Friday:

Johnny de Courcy - "Andrea's Song"

How great is Johnny de Courcy? "Andrea's Song" pops in predictable places, and the lyrics are pretty standard love when it comes to love, but I just love the way he sings here. So glad JDC lives in Vancouver.

Johnny de Courcy plays with hazy psych-rockers Tough Age and soul/R&B octet the Chantrelles this Friday at the Electric Owl for a measly $5. Early show: doors at 8, ends by 10:30 (so they say).

I saw Johnny de Courcy outside the Carnegie Community Centre a few days ago. He was leaning stock-still against a sign post and had the most spaced-out, far-away look in his eyes ever. I wonder where he was and how he got there. The lyrics to "Cherry Lane" never seemed so fitting:

Let me be in the clouds
I just wanna be okay
I know I won’t bother you
So just give me my drugs

Johnny de Courcy - "Cherry Lane"

"THEY TOOK MY - FUCKING DRUGS, GIVE ME MY - FUCKING DRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGS!" 

Johnny de Courcy may be a better show than I expect. I'll find out Friday when he plays the Courtneys' tour kick-off show along with my other local favs Juvenile Hall and Student Teacher at the Railway Club.
