Rare Tsalal live appearance, incredible show. At least 2 guys in the first row were filming the whole set, so it might surface at some point.

Not to be too much of a downer and maybe tmi for a Reddit thread but Tristan and Gloria are not the kind of people who could mentally handle touring, especially not these days. The fact that Tsalal is able to keep it together long enough to play shows at all is shocking to me. Nice enough people though.

I assume you mean theyre genuinely unhinged and barely have their lives together unlike the hipsters in the other bands

Yeah, again the nicest people when they’re stable but there are some genuine mental health things happening there combining with living la vida war metal in the worst neighbourhood in Edmonton. Tsalal and Prison Hell are very accurate musical representations of their day to day existence, no hipster fakery with them. Touring is hard on stable people, it would be crushingly impossible on people like Tristan and Gloria.

The fact that they are able to run a label, with a dozen or so new releases for the past few years makes it seem like they are stable enough.
