Compared to the other White Lies shows at Mod Club and previous Phoenix shows, it was not a sell-out show and less busy than the previous show. The lower turnout may have been a result of playing Osheaga in Montreal on Sunday this past weekend and people checked them out there instead.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/cultureaddicts.files.wordpress.com\/2011\/08\/white-lies-13.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-445\" title=\"White Lies Live at the Phoenix Toronto August 2011\" src=\"http:\/\/cultureaddicts.files.wordpress.com\/2011\/08\/white-lies-13.jpg?w=300&#038;resize=300%2C225\" alt=\"White Lies Live at the Phoenix Toronto August 2011\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/white-lies-13.jpg?w=960 960w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/white-lies-13.jpg?resize=300%2C225 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/white-lies-13.jpg?resize=400%2C300 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>The crowd at last night&#8217;s show seemed to be relatively subdued since it was a rainy Wednesday evening. Everyone was singing along throughout the show started right with the opener, <em>Farewell to the Fairground<\/em>. They continued the crowd sing-a-long for <em>To Lose My Life<\/em>\u00a0and <em>The Price of Love,<\/em> which seemed to get the most response from the crowd in terms of joining in. The band played a strong set and kept my attention the entire time considering it was a barebones show with minimal lighting effects. The 2 additional members on synth and second guitar really added depth to their sound. It will be interesting to see if they move in a more synth heavy direction on their next album &#8211; we will have to wait and see.<\/p>\n<p>The stand out tracks yesterday were <em>The Power &amp; The Glory<\/em> with its eerie synth lines which really came to life in the live setting, <em>Holy Ghost<\/em>\u00a0and <em>Death<\/em> from their first album, which they dedicated to Toronto. I would definitely check them out again when they come back through the city.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Setlist:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Farewell to the Fairground<\/li>\n<li>Strangers<\/li>\n<li>To Lose My Life<\/li>\n<li>Holy Ghost<\/li>\n<li>E.S.T.<\/li>\n<li>Is Love<\/li>\n<li>The Price of Love<\/li>\n<li>Street Lights<\/li>\n<li>A Place to Hide<\/li>\n<li>Peace &amp; Quiet<\/li>\n<li>Death<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Encore<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Unfinished Business<\/li>\n<li>The Power &amp; The Glory<\/li>\n<li>Bigger Than Us<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div>For more from White Lies, check out <a title=\"White Lies Website\" href=\"http:\/\/whitelies.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">whitelies.com<\/a>.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>White Lies returned to the Phoenix Concert Theatre in Toronto yesterday (August 3, 2011) and played a blazing set of tracks off of their debut <a class=\"mh-excerpt-more\" href=\"http:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/?p=425\" title=\"White Lies: Live August 3, 2011 &#8211; The Phoenix Concert Theatre, Toronto\">[&#8230;]<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":428,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"_wpas_customize_per_network":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[23,25,28,33],"tags":[901,1239,1311],"class_list":["post-425","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-indie","category-live","category-music","category-review","tag-phoenix-concert-theatre","tag-toronto-2","tag-white-lies"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/cultureaddicts.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/whiteliespromo.jpg?fit=500%2C369","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p2B2TV-6R","jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":371,"url":"http:\/\/cultureaddicts.com\/?p=371","url_meta":{"origin":425,"position":0},"title":"Ladytron release &#8216;White Elephant&#8217; music video","author":"cultureaddicts","date":"July 28, 2011","format":false,"excerpt":"Ladytron release their new video for the track, White Elephant, which appears on their forthcoming full length album, 'Gravity The Seducer,' in stores September 12 (UK) \/ September 13 (US).
