The sweater song

Shotgun Jimmie is part of the Sackville/Sappy circle of bands, so it was no surprise to see him sharing a stage with Ladyhawk. Last time he was in town it was as 25% of Shotgun and Jaybird. At least two more quarters were present, since Julie Doiron and Dick Morello were also in the club - Julie to sing with AIB, Morello to handle the merchandise. They also dressed up a little. Why don't more bands wear sweaters on stage? (Answer: because it's damn hot).

Shotgun Jimmie rocks the wool.



If the backing band looks familiar it is because they are, in fact, Attack in Black.



And so on!





I also took a few of shots in black and white.





Bedhead action!



A nice performance for fans of shambolic roots music.

• Show reminder: The Black Dahlia Murder, Misery Index, Epocholypse and Soilent Green (who I hear are people) play Babylon; Folkster Billy Lyte performs at The Rainbow. The Jay Spectre, Kris Ward and Rachel McCully play Zaphod's.
