Sparks fly

Muffler Crunch finished off the night with a bang. The duo of Angie "The Barbarian" Neatby and Luke Lavigne make a hellacious din. Luke's guitar "Ol' Sparky" provided the title of their latest recording, Ol' Sparky's Revenge, and was indeed in a vengeful mood as the band crushed the sizable crowd with its monstrous fuzzy hammer.

First Last Drag Records supremo "Diamond" Neal Johnstone makes the introductions ...



Angie the Barbarian! Singer, drummer, zine author, Ratt Restorer ...





Guitarist Luke!



Luke, and his evil twin! Eviler twin?



Rock action, and lots of it!





Luke gets the beat down.







You get to run around a lot when you have a radio unit ... and incidentally provide a sneak preview of tomorrow's post, since Dietrich and Aalya of the Centretown Wilderness Club happened to be in the audience.



Of course there was a crash-bang finale, with Luke launching himself into the drum kit - there goes the high-hat!



"Oh, this is gonna hurt!" said Angie.



If I treated my guitar like that, it would want revenge, too.



That's what I call demolition rock ... baby!
