The Slice had yet another full house, July 29 for the Necessities and a return visit from Southern Ontario roots rock eclectic the trio Sunparlour Players.
The Sunparlour Players’ intense, loud and amazing show was a drummer’s paradise as the three members exhibited mind-blowing prowess on a variety 
of instruments, usually simultaneously.
The main drummer also doubled on bass and accordion, plus xylophone.
Lead singer Andrew Penner played several guitars, broke most of the strings on his acoustic and didn’t miss a beat or a melody, plus added bass pedals, drums when needed as well as banjo. They keyboardist simultaneously added bass, plus drums and banjo during the band’s encore — an unusual version of AC DC’s ‘Thunderstruck.’
In addition to the astounding multi-instrumentalism, the band also displayed some cool vocal harmonies and unstoppable energy, which kept the dance floor crowded with revelers.
