Achoo!

Gesundheit! Not just a blessing, but the name of one of Canada's strangest heavy metal bands. You thought those guys with bagpipes were odd? These guys have a trumpet. And it's a trumpet played Brian Cram so you know it's stranger than most. Along with Sarah Montgomery, Jason Clark and his z'Howndz-mate Jimmy P. Lightning, they turn out some shred'n'Sabbath dirges. With lyrics about economics and the lifespan of the bluebottle fly, to name but two subjects, you know we aren't talking about Slipknot here.

Mr. Cram and his heavy-metal appropriate black leather pants.



Jimmy just doing his own thing.



Sarah. Three-pickup SGs must be the epitome of cool.



Jason. B.C. Rich guitar and lots of hair! I believe his metal credentials are in order!




Brian eats the microphone.



Sarah and Jimmy.



Dual guitar action. I probably should have stood further away for this picture, but it's Irene's, so what can you do.



Aaaaaaaaah!



The performance was definitely something out of the ordinary.
