Check out the new video by soul-rock group Freedom or Death. It’s pretty intense for a slow motion video about fighting your inner demons.

I didn’t actually know Freedom Or Death would be playing again here but I stayed for the encore anyway because they were great the night before.. plus I got a ton of better photos since Tattoo had better lighting. It was a great performance for a small audience and I got to talk to Sway (and get his number!), who invited me to the Vinyl Afterparty where he’d again be playing a third time. I missed the performances but stopped by the party in an abandoned condo.

The group performed for a smaller scale audience at Tattoo than the night before but it was still a hit with the small crowd of important people. Here’s a track I felt ironically appropriate:

This was the second time I’ve seen Freedom or Death, the first being at Steamwhistle Unsigned. I have to say they sounded so much better this time, well mixed and full of soul. The crowd that had been there early to see Early Winter, was quite impressed by Sway.
Freedom or Death- Lost in Dances

This didn’t end up being my last time seeing them during NXNE.. more on that later.

As you know we had the contest to win tickets to this event. I managed to catch Freedom or Death and The Darcys before running out to a friend’s birthday party.

It was a good thing we arrived early because by 10:30 the place was packed and there was a line up out the door because Steamwhistle Brewry had reached capacity. There were people of all kinds here. Fans, college kids and some people who were obviously worked in the industry

To give you a little background on the event, Steamwhistle Unsigned has been known to show off upcoming talent. Dinosaurs and The Rural Alberta Advantage were contenders before their current successes.
