Though there's nothing too incredibly complicated about what Toronto's
Constantines did when they took to the Music Hall of Williamsburg's stage, that doesn't mean there exist many bands out there who can match their seriously slick bit of straight-laced rock and roll chops. When this veteran band implode the massive foundations of their songs with a heavy dose of impromptu theatrics (as they did during their rousing live rendition of "Young Lions") they do so knowing all five musicians will converge at once somewhere on the other side...ready to plod through the rest of the tune at hand. It's impressive feat, to say the least. It's also the result of four classic full-lengths (the band pulled songs from each album) and over ten years of experience. -
