River City Extension at The Mod Club – July 2, 2013

Photographs by Sarah Rix

On opening duties for The Mowgli’s, was New Jersey’s River City Extension, in Toronto for the third time. Anchored by Joe Michelini, the six-piece make the kind of sweaty, fist-pumping rock that requires a beer in hand. It’s not anthemic per se, but it’s certainly energetic and favours guitar riffs, cymbals, and bass solos on the E string. They brought with them big endings, well executed tempo changes, and a sound far better than an opening slot might suggest. Some beer company should sponsor them to tour with Toronto-based rockers Wildlife. It’d be great.
