Employee of the month

Last time I saw Octoberman (a.k.a. Marc Morissette) at The Rainbow, he used the folks of Poorfolk as a backing band. Since Poorfolk were off with Mohawk Lodge around the time of this he used a couple of Fembots - Nathan Lawr on drums and Tavo Diaz on bass - and C.L. McLaughlin on guitar. Shaun Brodie also played some trumpet (as he did on the next night with Neins Circa).

C.L. and M.M.



S.B. and T.D.



Shaun pumps up the volume.



Singalong action!



The whole lot!



Monthly action!



Harmonica action!



Leftover photo action!



He's just wrapped up this tour, and his new record, Run From Safety, is out now.

• Show reminder: Plastic Crimewave Sound, Mondo Drag, and The Band Whose Name is a lay down the psych at the Dominion Tavern; The Suppositories release whatever LPs they haven't sold already along with Savage Crimes at the Bytown; Ross Neilsen and the Suffrin' Bastards play The Rainbow.
