Posted on February 9th, 2010 shannon No comments

Melanoma is no laughing matter. That said, please understand the symbolic value of us braving 2nd and 3rd degree sunburns to see AIR’s last Toronto show. Not only did we learn valuable lessons about sunscreen that day, but we also learned that AIR are a phenomenal live act. The show was really incredible.

AIR (JB Dunckel and Nicolas Godin) are performing their first North American concerts in three years in support of their gorgeous new album Love 2.

Canadian Dates:
March 22: Montreal @ Metropolis
March 23: Toronto @ Phoenix Concert Theater
