Spell it!

Mississippi Grover should be familiar to Ottawa music fans as Grog from The Knurlings (and before that The Fiends) ... or perhaps Greg from The Descrators ... or maybe Watson Traps, who once drummed for Flecton Bigsky ... does Greg Watson of The Orange Alabaster Mushroom ring a bell? Anyway, he's been around. Here he does the one-man band thing at The Manx, undoubtedly Ottawa's cosiest bar, opening for Merle Knurling. He opened things up with Link Wray's Rumble and went all swamp rock from there. Leave My Kitten Alone also featured.

A man and his cow skulls.



Harmonica solo!



Not many different pictures you can post of one guy wedged in a corner at The Manx; unfortunately I failed to capture the kazoo solo ...

• Show reminder: Daydream Square, Fractal Pattern, Swingset Champion and The City of a Hundred Spires play Maverick's. I'm definitely keen to hear what FP's got to offer, since Ryan of the Collapsing Opposites gave them a rave at his Irene's show on Friday.
