The Geomatic hosted Calgary based jazz/ rock band l’omelette’s single release party for their new single “Fast Fashion Fascist ” at the German Canadian Club, Saturday, June 8.
I missed popular local funk trio Adequate who a lot of the audience came to see as well as a fashion show from Andrew Cormier and Cieran Starlight.
The audience had started to clear out by the time I arrived.
But L’omellette were just getting the dance floor heated up as a custom made animated multi-media display created by Andrew Cormier.
They played a heavier than usual , energetic set of saxophone powered jazz tinged rock with just a touch of punk.
Meg Thompson was doing triple duty on saxophone, keyboards and vocals.
The band added a second saxophonist/ percussionist to fill out the sound.
Peer Cormier, who just returned from a tour with Charlie Crockett as part of Noeline Hofman’s band was holding down the beat on drums.
In addition to a lot of sweaty, jazz fuelled original music, they were called back for an encore to put their own stamp on a couple of covers including Miley Cyrus’ ” See You Again.” and MGMT’s “ Electric Feel.”
