Most of the fans in attendance were probably seeing, which I’d assume for some is their favorite band for the first time or even again for some fans.
The Winnipeg Sleeping With Sirens fans were ecstatic when the band arrived to the stage. At the time, Sleeping With Sirens would’ve been touring their debut album, “With Ears to See and Eyes to Hear”. They performed at the West End Cultural Centre on an opening spot for Enter Shikari on their Destabilize North American tour. The last time Sleeping With Sirens have been to the city was all the way back in October of 2010. It’s rather shocking that such a band as successful as Sleeping With Sirens, who have been on dozens and dozens of tours has now only ever been to Winnipeg for the second time. The band has dabbled in various genres over their five albums, but are best known for vocalist, Kellin Quinn’s leggero tenor vocal range. The final act to the stage was the Orlando, Florida based band, Sleeping With Sirens. Which luckily, they didn’t have to during the night. Every time I’ve seen Set It Off live, the band always goes above and beyond to make sure to meet all their fans after their set and after the show, even if it means standing in the cold if they have to. The Backstreet Boys cover was accompanied by a choreographed dance by the members of the band. A plethora of people in the crowd were singing along to songs such as, “Wolf In Sheep’s Clothing”, “Ancient History”, “Bleak December”, “Why Worry”, and even “NME”, which included an interesting choice of a cover of the Backstreet Boys’ 1997 hit single, “Everybody (Backstreet’s Back)” after the bridge of the song. It was obviously clear that many of the Winnipeg audience were more than aware of who Set It Off were. The bands vocalist, Cody Carson and I also recall drummer, Maxx Danziger were not able to get into the country for the tour and the local musician Mike Burnard had to fill in on vocals for the band, who performed a quick three song acoustic set for what I remember was about 15 to 25 people in the room. Set It Off went off on a Canadian tour, the Winnipeg stop of the tour was at the now closed, Ellice Theatre & Cafe. One of the first instances of these tours I was fortunate to attend was in, I believe it was 2011, if not 2012. Some of these shows played to nearly no one in attendance. The band has been touring Canada since before they signed their first record deal and have been to Winnipeg on many occasions in the past.
Set It Off are no stranger to Winnipeg and the rest of Canada. Next to perform was Set It Off, who hail from Tampa, Florida.
