My main reason for attending the 2009 Virgin Music Festival in Deer Lake Park was to see Our Lady Peace. I’ve been a fan of them since about 2002, when they released “Gravity“. I like most of what they’ve done, both old and new. They’re a canadian group that was formed in Toronto, Ontario.

One of the songs they played live was called “Paper Moon”. It’s a softer song, but moves into a strong passionate rock. It’s off OLP’s seventh studio album, “Burn, Burn“. So far I like quite a bit off their new album. OLP has a very unique sound, in both their style of music and of their lead vocalist, Raine Maida. They had a great performance, and despite a very easy going attitude on stage, they have such a passion for their music, it’s unmatched. During the performance, Raine even starting climbing up the stage. They continued playing even as a severe thunderstorm took over Deer Lake Park, even cracking jokes about joining the crowd in the downpour.
