Montreal favorite PLIGHT kicked ass at their CD Launch party to a full house of eager fans. A huge mass filled up the venue, hungry for a taste of Plight, and got more than their fill. With fans rolling in from Toronto, and all over the U.S, its obvious Plight has made a substantial mark in the North American indie rock world.
Plight’s long-awaited third album- The Balance is Gone (Gaia Disk / Century Media) co-produced by Dave Traina, recorded at Suite 8 Studio’s in Montreal and mastered by Ryan Morey at SNB is well worth the wait. Plight has evolved into a super-tight rock machine as though they’ve finally come together as a perfectly formed and developed band to rise above and beyond all expectation.
The show began with an awesome intro video, in mock-u-mentary style, with two self-proclaimed Plight fans, as they describe how awesome their lives are taking influence from Plight’s music. From driving like a maniac, sitting on the john with lotion, to living at home with mom after 30, these ‘super-fans’ set the tone for a great night of entertainment to come.
Rocking the house for two sets of new album songs, mixed with old Plight favorites; belted along with long time fans, Plight set off an awesome power-induced performance.
Throwing in a much-loved Billy Idol song, ‘Rebel Yell’ was the icing on the cake to a perfect rock show. MMS and all Plight fans hope to see more of Plight as they show off The Balance is Gone and springboard to future success.
