Who likes it loud?

I'm pretty sure I've listed Loudlove in my show reminder section a bunch of times; they're pretty energetic self-promoters and like keeping busy - they just played a show with The Johnstones and USS at the Capital Music Hall and are off to new York in November. I'm guessing the fact they have only one upcoming show is something of a rarity. They put on an impressive show at Bluesfest As I said then they've got an engaging frontman in Peter MacKenzie Hammond and a generally hot band all around, practicing in the rock-reggae genre (sorry, no Soundgarden imitation that I can detect).



Hans Levac handles the four-string. I recall Hans playing bass in Sandy back in February 2006 at Zaphod's.



Emile Leitch plays keyboards. It was definitely a good day to be wearing sunglasses - particularly on the Subway Stage, which faces the setting sun.



Sean Hendy rocks the camo.



Guitar action!



Sean walks around.



Rhythm section action! You may recall drummer Dan Loach from his backing stint with Amanda Rheaume earlier in the festival.



Peter works the stage.



I sense a sunburn coming on.



Emile sings some.



Time for a rocking finish!



The crowd goes wild!



No doubt the city will hear more of them shortly.
