Straight to video

Just a couple of Days after seeing Token, Guillotine and The Double Pumpers rock Babylon I was back for a second helping of music. This time it was to see Montreal dancefloor titans Think About Life make 'em shake it. The opening act was Videotape, which could be called a local combo, even if some of the membership has decamped for Toronto.

They played a short but interesting set; it was more rhythmic than when I saw them at Zaphod's a year or so earlier. Not sure whether that's a new stylistic direction or a nod to the dance-floor friendly sounds of the headliner.



Nathan, Adam and Ryan.



This photo of Nathan is slightly better than the last one I took of him - for one thing he's not an indistinguishable blur ....



Adam twists.



And so on!





There next show is at Raw Sugar on Somerset this Saturday.

• Show reminder: The Gaga Weekend kicks off with the Rock'n'Roll Pizza Party at The Atomic Rooster (just a block from Babylon on Bank) with The Visitors, Mother's Children, Walnut Kids and The Sedatives; Malajube, Hollerado and The Goodluck Assembly perform at Mavericks (the show has moved from the Capital). Wise, Young & King, The Watters Brothers and The Weeds rock Zaphod Beeblebrox; Royal Ottawa and The Cheats play the Elmdale House.
• Lookie here: Scott H. Biram is performing at the Elmdale House August 1. Definitely a must for all you one-man band fans.
