Halifax, Nova Scotia’s Matt Mays and his mates in El Torpedo are well on their way to Canadian rock stardom. The group’s self-titled CD is one of the year’s biggest selling rock albums in the True North, and the band’s swaggering brand of country-rock has won over even the most derisive critics. The band’s memorable Buffalo debut at one of this past summer’s Thursday At the Square nights found them a local audience enthralled by a wonderfully ragged set that was glorious enough to bring a smile to grizzled ol’ Neil Young’s face. The after-hours show at the Mohawk Place that night proved even better as Matt and members El Torpedo showed up and were coaxed to take the stage for some impromptu covers with friend and headliner Sam Roberts. Matt Mays and El Torpedo return to the scene of that particular crime/triumph on Friday for a headlining show. The group is supported by The Novaks (think Tom Petty playing with Sloan).
Friday, November 11 at 11pm. Mohawk Place, 47 E. Mohawk St. (855-3931). $10
