THURSDAY — Donned in sparkly dresses, light-up guitars in hand, Young Doctors In Love offered non-stop power pop to the sparse, but engaged audience at Hard Luck Bar with enough charisma to wake the dead.
New discoveries are key during Canadian Music Week and Young Doctors In Love, as you can probably predict from my gushing above, is a band worth searching for. They command the stage in perfect unison — almost as if The B-52s and The Breeders had a really cool baby. Their infectious tunes, including a cover of The Rolling Stones' "Let's Spend the Night Together", showed great verve and musicianship within the band. It made the group incredibly likeable and clearly left some in the audience wanting to be their new best friends. (I know I wish I had friends who randomly wore 3-D glasses. And not in an annoyingly ironic way.)Young Doctors In Love have the potential to soon be filling up local venues — and most certainly will when they finally catch on. Why? Because you want to shake that. Don't act like that's a lie. We're on to you, Toronto.
Plus: light-up guitars.
