I'm in love with my car

I went over to Zaphod's to check out Dears associates The Receivers. There were a couple of othre bands I'd heard of but not heard opening things up, both of which proved more interesting than the headliners. The name Micarza Camaro has been bandied about within earshot for a few months now. They're pals with some of the Kelp folks and Camp Radio. Their guitar rock is an interesting amalgam of new wave and roots rock. I'm darned if I can think of anyone who they particularly remind me of.

First, a couple of not really working black and white photographs of singer and guitarist William Norcross ...



... and drummer Jon Nevala.



Here's Sebastien Dupont - appearing previously on this here blog as a member of F!ght F!ght F!ght and Crowded Skies.



Nathan McCunn on six strings.



Automotive action!



The whole lot!



And so on!







A good first brush.

• Show reminder: As I noted yesterday, The White Wires, Suppositories and Mother's Children are headed up to Wakefield for a show at Kaffe. Here in Ottawa The Cutmen and The Sunbleached Skulls perform at Irene's. Ball and Chain and The Wreckers play the Elmdale House with special guest Fred Guindon. There's lots of art'n'music at Babylon's Bonanza (Volume 5, they call it), with the noisy side handled by The Goddamn Goddamns, The Ryde, Everything Less and Chris Neale.
