This Man Just Might Steal Your Girlfriend! WatchtheDuck’s Seductive Charm This show is dead. Can we even call it a show? Only around 10 people huddled around the stage. How did we even know about it? The band, WatchtheDuck just played a packed house the night before in Toronto so this had to come as a real disappointment. The crowd: 3 young, goofy guys in full-on party mode, 2 completely indistinguishable guys, 2 street smart guys (couldn’t you have brought some friends?) One nerd taking incessant pictures (guess who?), and a guy with his girlfriend. Yes, it gets even worse when you have only one female in the audience and said female is attached by the hip to her boyfriend. Things get interesting as the night wears on. WatchtheDuck hit the stage like this is a small house party they’ve been invited to perform at. The lead of the group is friendly with the audience making every song an audience participation track. He’s got charisma and has the throwback of a funky disco singer. He may even be sporting a little jheri curl. He can tell he’s caught the girlfriend’s attention and at a particularly upbeat moment he pulls her onstage. By this point she’s had a few drinks and is feeling pretty good up there next to this arousing and imposing man that has set the mic aside to dance a little with her. It starts as a polite dance with some distance between them and her boyfriend seems to be taking it in stride. He even raises his cup to the stage in a salute.
