The Anti-Queens, who were formerly named "Mittenz" are a trio of female powerhouse musicians reigning from Toronto, Ontario (Canada). They have been collectively paving their way in the competitive Toronto music scene for nearly 4 years. With singer/guitarist Emily Bones, Mary Deth on bass/vocals and drummer Lindsay Bird, The Anti-Queens have managed to fuse 90's grungy rock in with a more modern punk tinge. Put it this way; The Runaways who grew up into Veruca Salt, who then became a little more pissed off and morphed into The Distillers.
The Anti-Queens put on an explosively energetic set which in turn will have their catchy songs engraved into your brain for the rest of the night.
Throughout their career as a band, they have participated in many types of events from outdoor festivals to fundraisers and album release parties. Among the many concerts the Anti-Queens have put on, there are a few that really stand out from the list.
This past summer alone (July 2012), they performed at PRIDE Toronto not only once, but twice that weekend, alongside Die Mannequin & Vag Halen at the Alternaqueer stage, and the following day at the Fruitloopz stage. They performed at the main stage in Collingwood, for Blue Mountain's "Peak To Shore Festival", alongside Jim Cuddy of Blue Rodeo. They also performed for the second year in a row for NXNE at The Velvet Underground.

Game Over
The Anti-Queens Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
(The game is over)
What do I do?
You must got me fucked up
Nigga, you must got fucked up
Can't believe you had me all up in my feelings, thought you lucked up (lucked up)
You thought you had a dumb one
And I can see that dog in you (see the dog in you)
Especially when you started acting out irrationally
Givin' your energy to hoes who ain't even half of me
Nigga, that's blasphemy (yeah, yeah)
What do I do, what do I do, what do I do (what do I do)
Now that I know the truth, I know the truth, fuckin' with you, you?
(I don't wanna leave) I don't wanna leave
(But I gotta go) but I gotta go (this is not for me)
Yeah, you had a good run, had your fun, now I'm done and your game is over
(I don't wanna leave) I don't wanna leave
(But I gotta go) but I gotta go (this is not for me)
Yeah, you had a good run, had your fun, now I'm done and your game is over
You finessed me into thinking you were solid (solid)
All that sweet shit you was talkin' wasn't valid (valid)
You only think about yourself, boy, you so selfish, and you're childish
You don't turn me on no more, instead you turn me off (turn me off)
Always get mad 'bout little petty shit, it turns me off (turns me off)
You never take me on no dates and you don't show me off
I wonder why you never show me off, oh
What do I do, what do I do, what do I do (what do I do?)
Now that I know the truth, I know the truth, fuckin' with you?
I don't wanna leave (I don't wanna leave), I don't wanna leave
(But I gotta go) but I gotta go (this is not for me)
Yeah, you had a good run, had your fun, now I'm done and your game is over
(I don't wanna leave) I don't wanna leave
(But I gotta go) but I gotta go (this is not for me)
Yeah, you had a good run, had your fun, now I'm done and your game is over
What do I do, what do I do, what do I do?
Why do you ask when you already know?
Now that I know the truth, I know the truth, fuckin' with you
If it ain't so, ayy
Don't wanna keep runnin' in circles (circles)
It doesn't have to be this hurtful (hurtful)
I know you wanna leave but you can't go (you can't go, but I gotta go)
Why you wanna spend tomorrow (tomorrow)
Wastin' all your time in sorrow? (In sorrow)
I know wanna leave so you should go (you can go, ooh, I don't wanna leave)
(I don't wanna leave) I don't wanna leave (I don't wanna go)
(But I gotta go) but I gotta go (this is not for me)
Yeah, you had a good run, had your fun, now I'm done and your game is over
(I don't wanna leave) I don't wanna leave
(But I gotta go) but I gotta go (this is not for me)
Yeah, you had a good run, had your fun, now I'm done and your game is over
(Game is over)
Over, over
The game is over, over, oh
The game is over
