She was in a band called Eric’s Trip but now these days Julie Doiron sings on her own. Slow simple intriguing songs that travel slowly. Maybe it’s because she now lives in sleepy New Brunswick, Canada, mentioned several times in the evening. Her extremely quiet and docile drummer sat in the corner as we heard funny and weird stories about him on tour. He never said a word or displayed any emotion whatsoever. An intriguing turn of events was when Julie asked him to play one of his songs from a band they also share. He was quite tall and I was afraid his afro would hit the short ceilings of Union Hall. He became alive behind the mic and guitar and belted out 2 great songs which gave the somewhat dull show a needed jolt and joke.
