Children of the grave

Bluesfest's first Friday starts with a set from Evil Farm Children. I already gave you some of the lowdown (click the nametag at the bottom for further details), so I'll just add that if memory serves there was a cover of Rumble, some Black Sabbath and the usual healthy helping of cranked up surf-rock. And now, here's a bunch of pictures.

Dave picks and grimaces.



Janice and lights.



Jeb rocks the skulls.



The Children don't always follow their own advice.





That stage, that glaring sun.



Those eyes! Those terrible eyes! Oh, and singalong action.





Big finish!





The EFC have a new CD on the way; a CD release show at The Dominion is planned for Sept. 20.

• Show reminder: Orphan's Crowd, No More Hollywood, Jon Creeden and The Ashton Starr perform at the The Book Depository on 198 Gladstone Ave; there is much rock at the New Bayou with the mighty Jucifer, Knives for Kids, Muffler Crunch, Doll, Ladymilk and Rock City (and as you might have guessed from the lengthy lineup, it gets underway early); Lee Mellor and Lefty McRighty and The Dusty Drifters perform at Irene's; Kingston's Tom Savage Trio perform at The Elmdale Tavern. The Habit, Tara Holloway and The Increments perform at Zaphod's. Riishi Von Rex & The Dire Royalty and New Teeth perform at The Avant Garde.
