I saw Maximo Park last night at this 360 capacity gig and it was simply divine!
This band move me like no other. I am in love with their music, and as far as lyricists go, Paul Smith is near perfection. There is such a story behind everything he performs, and you can't help but become lost in his world!
If you haven't seen them live yet, i urge you to.

I ever tell you about the time I was at a gig at Mercury Lounge in New York, it was in 2005, just as Maximo Park were getting big, and I ran into this really hot Englishman (I have to hand it to you Brits--the accent gets me every single time). Anyway, we started chatting about the American and British music scenes and he eventually got around to saying "erm, you know, my brother plays drums in an up and coming band, I don't know if you've heard of them though.." and I was all, probably not, but tell me the band anyway" and he said "Maximo Park." I've often wondered whether it was true or just some kind of sly tactic, but I like to think that it's true. And, FYI, nothing happened between me and "Brad." He took off as soon as the gig started. Which I thought was kind of weird.

Saturday, July 14 I'm seeing them in a small club in Toronto. I'm missing out on a possible road trip to Montreal (to see Metric) and White Cowbell Oklahoma, but it'll be worth it.
