Round and round

The Dymaxions were enjoying their first show outside of Montreal - and they were a pleasant surprise to all. An energetic live act with an indie rock hoedown style that dovetailed neatly with the headliners' sound. They're originally from Guelph and say they recorded their debut EP for no money. "This makes them the smartest band in the world." says their online bio. Quite.

First, some psyching up.



T.M.M. Kramer keeps it under his hat.



D.K. Rathwell in a starring performance.





G.A. Perets strikes a classic pose. I think there's some sartorial preplanning with T.M.M. going on here.





T.C. Wood plays lightly.



And not so lightly!



Kramer puts some extra grimace to work.



Dymaxion action!











The crashing finale.







A great band well worth seeing again.
