Raine Maida of OUR LADY PEACE
On a overcast afternoon in July, with threats of rain, I had a chance to sit down with Our Lady Peace singer, Raine Maida and discuss their then yet-to-be-released disc, Burn Burn. The band was just in the midst of kicking off the supporting tour of their 7th studio disc release, when I caught up with him. We talked about a variety of things before the band hit the stage, to what could of easily been a sell out crowd had it not been for the fact they were playing at the Molson Canadian Canal Concert Series in Lockport, NY. Which is a free series of concerts put on every summer by the town, hosted by a variety of sponsors, with a long list of great famous bands. Our Lady Peace was kicking off this season's series, and what a way to start off a summer! Even Maida and fellow bandmates were surprised at the amount of fans that had turned out for the band's performance that evening. Free tickets or not the band did not fail to deliver, they gave 125% and if you are lucky enough to catch them on this tour..don't miss the chance! In case you were wondering, for the record, the sky never did open that night, but we did get all the *rain* we could ask for!
