Chain-chain-chains

A first rate 1960s-style rock'n'roll group, The Chains have an excellent album out on Get Hip records and have garnered favourable notice from garage rock luminary Little Steven.
They've played Ottawa three times, once at Bluesfest, to smaller crowds than they deserve on every occasion. Here they are at The Dominion for their show with The Itchies ... I mean Blackbeats.

If anyone does a Who biopic, I hereby nominate singer-guitarist Alexandre Boivin for the role of Roger Daltrey.

Guitarist Sebastien Hould; don't know the keyboardist's name - he's been added since the album was recorded.

Drummer Eric Boulanger is cool, man, cool!

And the bassist ... also new, I believe.

A great band, but it's been a little while since I've heard anything from Chez Chains - what goes on?
