I missed Fawns’ opening set for the Pack AD last week, but caught their closing set at the Slice, Oct. 5. I was really looking forward to seeign Vancuver}s strange breed again as I also missed their show with Fawns on March 31.
Fawns was missing lead guitarist Richard Charlton and I was missing his leads.
That left lead singer Mercedes Fawns to handle the guitar as well as lead vocals, so wasn’t as frenetic on stage.
Fawns set was more keyboard heavy than usual.
They played their usual set of anthemic Alanis Morissette ’90s style alternative rock but with a touch of dance and pop music, thanks to Fawns’ powerful voice.
They wound up their set on a slightly slower note by going back to their debut album “ I Grew up here.”
