Monsters of rock

It's getting on, so I'll just say that last night's show at The Dominion with Muffler Crunch, Tokyosexwhale and Mongrels rocked as completely as expected.

Muffler Crunch sounded really sharp - there was a little less post-set destruction, and more bones.



TSW more than lived up to their designation as Ottawa's best new band (even if you don't believe in such stuff).



As if their last show didn't pack enough wallop, Mongrels now have an extra keyboardist - needless to say with the two drummers, bassist and Andrew Dickson and Amy T, there wasn't much room on stage.



And even though the Panasonic DMC-FZ18 isn't as snazzy as my SLR, it's still getting the job done.

• Show reminder: The Unavowed, Vanier Shank, and Andy Snap & The Loose Cannons play Zaphod's.
