Concert Review: Miki Berenyi Trio, October 15, The Great Hall

Touring in support of their debut album Tripla, the Miki Berenyi Trio took to the stage at The Great Hall on Wednesday night – though for a minute there, Berenyi herself thought it was a Tuesday. Blaming either age or the rigours of touring for the mix-up, she ultimately settled on the latter. Day of the week aside, it was a night longtime fans had been eagerly anticipating, as Berenyi returned to our fair city for the first time in several years – quite possibly for the last time.

Citing the difficulties of touring and the excessive costs involved, Berenyi has announced that this will be the Trio’s final North American tour. And while that might be a bit disappointing, it’s also entirely understandable.

Still, if this was to be her last time in Toronto, Berenyi, along with her bandmates Kevin “Moose” McKillop and Oliver Cherer, was determined to go out on a high note, delivering a solid set of tunes off the album as well as a few choice selections from her days fronting Lush. While new tunes like “Vertigo” and “Kinch” sounded great, the biggest crowd response came for the Lush classics, with “Ladykillers” and “Light From a Dead Star” standing out as highlights. All in all, a great performance and if this does indeed end up being their final show in Toronto, they certainly made it a memorable one.
