Keep it in the Famile

Sunday evenings at the Rainbow have become a little more interesting to fans of things indie, alt, pop and folk; recently They Shoot Horse Don't They and Telefauna graced the venerable blues venue's comfy stage, and a couple of nights ago interlocking country-folk bands Casey Comeau and the Centretown Wilderness Club and The Golden Famile each played a brisk set. I hope to be at Babylon in a few minutes time (I'm writing this up last night) so this is going to be a hit and run job.

Casey Comeau and her swanky new Taylor T5.



M.J. Houle, Dietrich Sider and Richard Jeffrey.



Mike Sheridan was looking sharp.



Dietrich was looking sharper.



Aalya Ahmad from on high.



Richard and Marie-Josee.



Casey and Aalya play while Mike plays the other side of the bass drum (and possibly checks his reflection).



The whole bunch from down below ...



And up above.



As I mentioned in my last post, the Golden Famile and the Club have three members in common, Richard, Casey and Mike, and they certainly make a well-integrated double bill.

Frontman Darrell Angus.



Casey on organ ... when they were setting up it was sounding very fuzzy - no doubt flashing back to its Desecrating days ...



Ryan Hough up close.



Nate Hurlow - you are going to go see his other band The Fortunate Sons at Irene's May 2, right?



Folk-rock action!





Hello down there!





The soundman was later heard to observe "I didn't expect it to get so loud there at the end ..." He did a great job anyway, I thought - and fine sets from both bands.

• Show reminder: Lefty McRighty and the Boxcar Cadavers, The Pandemics, Bloodshot Bill and The Cockroaches play Babylon.
