When we found out that Whosarmy was doing a show in TO, we responded in typical fangirl style-not “are we going?” but “where do we get tickets?” There was never a doubt that we were going. The girls had decided that we were going to use this opportunity to celebrate a little because we hadn’t had a chance to really do that since Cover Me Canada ended (which was a Sunday so it couldn’t be done properly anyway). Our celebrations started around 7 and let’s just say that fangirls+alcohol+twitter =trouble. Lucky for us, the guys from Whosarmy are easy going and not easily offended. (Note: we re-read our tweets later and they really weren’t that bad-so proud of us ladies). 
What happened between the hotel and getting to the show was quite the adventure: it included a possibly sprained ankle, actually getting asked for ID and not being able to find it, spilled drinks and subsequent drying under the hand dryer. What better way to celebrate at dinner than with a shot…or 2…or 3. Now that I think about it, this may have been the reason that the waiter got a slightly larger than average tip...
Eventually though, we made it to the El Mocambo and we were so excited to see Whosarmy. We have obviously seen them week after week on Cover Me Canada, but now they were actually doing a whole set. We loved them on the show doing covers for 90 seconds, but this was a real set of their originals and we couldn’t wait. They started with "Maggie’s Alright" and "Automatic Baby", which are favourites among the fangirls, and we absolutely loved it. The guys had been hinting all week on twitter that they would be playing one of their CMC songs but we didn’t know which one. So somebody, somebody, somebody, somebody please ask me how much we loved that it was "Lonely Boy". Could not love their version any more, it is just amazing. "No Mystery" and "Revolution Girl" were also great (seriously, if you do not have their album yet, you need to get it ASAP). Their last song of the night was their new single “Alive” and they just rocked it. 
Not only is the song great, but you can tell that the guys are really proud of it and love playing it. Their set was amazing and the fangirls were definitely singing along the whole time.
(By the way, "Alive" is available on iTunes now ;) http://itunes.apple.com/ca/album/alive-cover-me-canada-performance/id480317419 …you really need to get this song. Trust me.)
I know that it has been said before, but these guys are more than just great musicians. It means a lot when a band truly respects and appreciates their fans. They really are genuine and we love them so much for it. We can’t wait to see the music video for “Alive”, hear the new songs, and hopefully see them again soon.
To the guys of Whosarmy: your dedication and hard work is admirable and just know that you have the love and respect of the fans. We will always be there to support you and the fangirls wish you nothing but the best with everything. ♥
