Play the flip side

Another Babylon show, another cancellation! This time Montreal's Sunday Sinners didn't make it to their show with The Bellrays, so Four'n'Givr once again stepped in to fill the gap. And once again part of John Westhaver's Frankendrumkit broke (first time it was his snare, then it was the kick pedal - this time it was one of his cymbal stands). They were pretty rocking this time around ... Bob Hell's guitar was particularly thick, perhaps because he was using Tony Fate of The Bellrays' guitar cab.

Bob Hell from a scary angle.



John beats on his kit.



Jake Heartbreak takes a mid-song stretch.



Hell and Feck!



"Do I know you?"



This time around I scribbled down something about Half Open Door (a holdover tune from Holy Hell) sounding like an early Wire tune, while Work Work made me think of the Hombres' Let It Out (Let It All Hang Out) or the nutbar Nobody's Children song Good Times.

• Show reminder: Get your daily dose of punk at Cafe DeKcuf with The G-Men, the Bella Bombs, Psychopathos and four-stroke. Pianosaurus Rex, Books on Books and Fight!Fight!Fight! play the Avant-Garde Bar. Tangiers and The Deadly Snakes play Zaphod's. Right next door (and slightly later) Tricky Woo, From Fiction and Jesus Mullet rock the @#$! out. Finally, the Songbird Music folks bring a whole lot of free music to Babylon with The Super Awesome Club, Manpower, Hot Dam, The Golden Seals, The Empiricals, The Fucking Machines, The Flaps and Room For Rent.
