Rocking the Night Away: The Warning’s Error Tour 2023 at The Axis Club

The Warning, a formidable Mexican hard rock trio consisting of the immensely talented Villarreal Vélez sisters, Daniela, Paulina, and Alejandra, graced the stage at The Axis Club on August 13, 2023, as part of their Error Tour 2023. With their latest album “Error” still fresh in our ears from its release in 2022, this concert promised to be an unforgettable night of powerful rock music.

The Warning has come a long way since their inception in 2013, initially starting with cover songs before catapulting into stardom. It was in 2014 when their viral cover of Metallica’s “Enter Sandman” caught the attention of the legendary band themselves, leading to an appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in 2015. Since then, their trajectory has only soared.

Having previously performed in Toronto in 2022 at the Velvet Underground, anticipation for their return to the city was palpable. Prior to their electrifying performance, the band even took time for a meet and greet with fans, although it was noted that Daniela couldn’t attend due to the rigorous tour schedule and her need for rest. After all, she had just played back-to-back shows in Boston on the 11th and Montreal on the 12th, leading up to the Toronto concert on the 13th. The dedication and hard work of these young musicians were evident as they pushed themselves to their limits to bring their music to their devoted fans.

The concert itself was a testament to The Warning’s undeniable energy and passion for rock music. Daniela, Paulina, and Alejandra took to the stage with an intensity that immediately captivated the audience. Throughout their set, Daniela’s powerful vocals and mesmerizing guitar skills, Paulina’s thunderous drumming, and Alejandra’s commanding presence on the bass guitar showcased their incredible musical prowess.

As the night unfolded, it was clear that The Warning had the audience in the palm of their hands. During their rendition of “Enter Sandman,” fans in the crowd couldn’t resist joining in, singing along to the iconic Metallica cover. The sense of unity and shared enthusiasm in the room was truly special.

The setlist was a dynamic mix of tracks, including “DISCIPLE,” “CHOKE,” “Dust to Dust,” “Dull Knives (Cut Better),” “Red Hands Never Fade” with Alejandra taking lead vocals, “KOOL AID KIDS,” “MORE,” “MONEY,” and the aforementioned “Enter Sandman.” Alejandra also delivered a stunning vocal performance on “Hunter,” showcasing her versatility.

Closing the night with “ERROR,” “Narcisista,” and “MARTIRIO,” The Warning left the stage, leaving the crowd with ringing ears, pounding hearts, and a sense of awe. It was an evening where three young women from Mexico, who may have seemed like just another band, proved themselves as the torchbearers of the future of rock and roll.

As the lights dimmed and the band members left the stage, one fan’s words hung in the air: “These young ladies are carrying the future of Rock and Roll with them.” The sentiment resonated with everyone in the audience, as The Warning had turned the world upside down and rocked it to its core with their extraordinary talent and unwavering dedication to their craft.

One couldn’t help but notice Daniela’s exhaustion at the end of the show, having given her absolute best throughout the night. As she struggled to rise from the floor while taking pictures with the crowd, it was clear that The Warning had poured their hearts and souls into every moment of their performance, leaving nothing on the table.

In the end, The Warning’s Error Tour 2023 stop in Toronto was nothing short of a triumph. It was a night of electrifying music, shared camaraderie, and the reaffirmation that rock and roll is very much alive and thriving in the hands of these three remarkable sisters. The Warning’s performance was not just a concert; it was a rock ‘n’ roll spectacle for the ages.

Having opened for renowned acts like Halestorm, Pretty Reckless, Foo Fighters, The Killers, Guns N’ Roses, and Three Days Grace, The Warning has proven themselves as worthy successors to the rock legends that have inspired them. Their Error Tour was a testament to their dedication, talent, and the bright future they hold in the world of rock and roll.
