After seeing Bambara and Life Coach at the Caledonia, it was the perfect time to take the decibel level down a notch and head over to Flicker for a bit. Once I arrived, I quickly seated myself in a cozy corner, narrowly inching out the small crowd that soon filled the room. The band that I later found out was Boycycle started off their set as a solo act with their lead singer pounding away on the drums. Then it slowly morphed into a full band with an ever-changing slew of talented members creating soft, indie tunes and wonderful arrangements. The drum-heavy melodies, threaded together by the lead singer's unique and often ethereal vocals, simply touched my soul. Not far into the set, they whipped out an accordion, adding yet another layer to their tunes. I just loved what I heard! As Boycycle finished their set, the crowd called for an encore, a testament to their awesome performance. Unfortunately though, seconds into the first song, a really talkative drunk man had sat beside me and had begun narrating the whole set and having a conversation with himself which was extremely distracting. Hopefully, sometime soon I'll be able to see this band again and absorb their beautiful music without interruption!
