On the 99th floor

Back wehn I was in college Nirvana made their big splash and the next thing I knew everyone was forming grunge rock bands. In fact I'd already heard a lot of that kind of thing before from combos like The Sons of Freedom and Slow. There's something about the combination of fuzzy guitars, blues rock and plaid that appeals to Canadians - Neil Young may be to blame. Anyway, judging by The Donna Litas the sound is still common currency - and there's nothing wrong with that.

Rhythm section action (plus drinking) with Andrew Jonasson on bass and Justin Orr on drums.



Meanwhile over on the right we have some guitaring from Adam Dunn and Phil Jonasson (facing the other way).



And last but not least Sean Rioux on vocals.



More guitar faceoff action with Adam and Phil.



Singalong action!



Sean shakes.



Adam rocks the dogears.



More guitar!



Justin up close! (Or if you prefer, more Orr).



Singing, guitar, etc.



More rhythm!



And so on!



Big finish!



They have a freshly recorded EP in the bag (or close to it), so I'm going to presume a release show is close.

• Show reminder: Baptized in Blood dropped off the bill, but International Maniac Institute, After The Vendetta, Ecliptium and Autumn's Fall are still at Cafe Dekcuf; Attack In Black, One Hundred Dollars and The Amalgamation play Mavericks; Dallas Waldo, Jokers Wild and Pressure Make Diamonds rock Zaphod Beeblebrox; Rocket Rached and the Fat City Eight get it down on tape at the Elmdale House.
