Nuthin' but a G thang

The G-Men hail from Toronto; straightahead punk rock with a lot of metal tone. Nothing fancy here. Just solid, nourishing punk.

Singer Mopa Dean looks like a heavy from a 50s gangster flick - direct from central casting! His off-stage porkpie hat with the playing cards in the band help the impression.



Bassist Dave Only.



Guitarist Jamie G put a lot of metal in the sound.



Ron - "He's a metal drummer."



Mopa howls while Jamie G. rips it up.



In the pit (of four people). Ken Vermin of four-stroke contributes some guest vocals.



The G-Men and three young Ottawa fans.



This was an all-ages show, and they really meant it: The youngest guy there looked about 12, the oldest about forty years older.
