Face the music

Leatherface finished the evening with a super set. There's something both casual and ferocious about Frankie Stubbs' music. There's also a sly wit; I think Stubbs may be teasing the punks a bit when he plunks a line about Haagen Dasz ice cream into a tune.

Graeme Philliskirk is handling the bass this go.



I think Stubbs and I share the same beard stylist (i.e. no one).

And there you have it. A wicked show.
