The doctor is out

I went off to Mavericks to catch the farewell gig for Dr. Wily and The Robot Masters. The video game metal titans threw themselves a shindig to say goodbye to their fans - a fair crowd of them turned out - and sell off some excess merch.

Valveenus opened things up with some steamroller punk rock.



Jesus Mullet returned after a hiatus with their Motorhead-meets-Nebula heavy rock.



Finally, Dr. Wily and The Robot Masters played their last ever show.



Game over?
