Shove it!

The Pop Shove Its were all crazy energy for their triumphant return to the stage. I don't recall ever seeing the band back when it was a real going concern, though I've seen all three band members in other bands. Rob Skitmore and Kosta McKay are, of course, another 2/5s of The Department of Foreign Affairs while Rob Snasdell-Taylor is a veteran of King Kung (for some reason I keep remembering him playing a good chunk of a show at Lucky Ron's/The Hi-Fi with his fly down ...), The Waxies, etc. Anyway, the band went crazy, the crowd went crazy, and I took an unrealistic amount of pictures of people bouncing around.

Rob sings!



Snasdell-Taylor must have ankles of steel.



Kosta McKay grimaced more or less non-stop.



I just noticed that Rob was wearing a dynamite shirt and Snasdell-Taylor's T-shirt is decorated with gun silhouettes ... what does it all mean ...?



RST adds some backing shouts ...



... works the feedback ...



... and gives a great big kick!



Pop action!



The band hasn't quite called it a day. I see from Chart Attack's Ottawa Buzz that they plan to finish off a few recordings and release an EP - perhaps with a show to go with it.
