. : : October 30th, 2011 : : . Most Sunday evenings, I can be found at home watching The Walking Dead on television. On this particular Sunday night, I was watching the walking dead live(?) and in person. Actually, it was Rebekah Higgs and band dressed as zombies performing The Zombies songs. Are you still following? I think even my own head is spinning after that one. I guess it should go without saying, considering the date, as a sort of encore performance for the Drake Underground residency shows, Rebekah threw a “bands covering other bands” night, which included a disastrous set of all Justin Beiber songs by Thomas Gil from LOOM. No, really.…

. : : October 23rd, 2011 : : . Phew. After four straight weeks, the real Rebekah Higgs residency gig proper at the Drake Underground finally came to a close. This would be the last of the Sunday evenings in October in which Rebekah and band would treat us to a familiar set of tunes — mostly culled from her recent sophomore release, Odd Fellowship. Over the month, I was treated to differing versions with differing configurations of, generally, the same set list, but one thing has staid absolutely consistent: I’ve loved every minute of it.

Arriving about an hour early, I snatched a seat at the Drake Lounge. I guess hotels are known to often house pretty good restaurants, but The Drake might take the prize. With my first bite into the renowned Drake Burger, I knew it was going to be a good night. After polishing off the meal and finding my way down to the Underground, I started to prepare for taping duties when Rebekah…

. : : October 9th, 2011 : : . The first REAL Rebekah Higgs residency gig at the Drake Underground was unsurprisingly under-attended. Unlike the previous week’s virtually unadvertised show in the upstairs dining / lounge area, this one was a full band performance with a bit of social networking umph put behind it; however, it also happened to fall on Canadian Thanksgiving Sunday. Predictably, most prospective attendees were stuck traveling, visiting family members, and sleeping off the turkey. As such, the room was mostly filled by the other bands and their friends, which was too bad. This was the best Rebekah and co. have sounded…
