Breaking news

Next up, The Centretown Cripplers, who seem to have a fairly fluid membership, with a central seven ... they're like the Acid Mothers Temple of Ottawa roots rock. I only caught a couple of songs because I was tad tardy getting to this gig - a ferocious version of Stepping Stone is what I mostly recall.

Shadowy men on Mavericks' new shadowy stage, David Banoub, Chris Cook and Matthew Wells handle the guitars ... you can also see a bit of bassist Devin Tomanry and drummer Jamie Warren in this photo.

Allright Mel Sturk percusses off to the left.


Guitar action!







Shouty action!



Singalong action!



At this point, do I really have to say they're playing at the Gaga Weekend? In this case it's the matinee show on Main St. June 13.

• Show reminder: You like bands with lots of members? Go see Dark Meat, at Zaphod's. Even better Tokyo Sex Whale, is on the bill, as is Mud Lake (which has more than a few members itself).
