It's the truth

The penultimate act of the evening was Montreal's The Gospel. On record, they swing a number of classic rock influences. Live, they stretch things out a lot more.

Sam Kirmayer rocks the axe.



George Grove on the microphone ...



... and also some tambourine.



Levi Dover comes from the John Entwistle school of stoic bass-playing.



The whole lot, including drummer and purveyor of nuts Will Bustin.



They're an active lot on stage, particularly Sam.



More Will!



Fisheye and feedback.



More fishy action!



Hairy action!



The red-lit bit.



Wah action!



And so on ...



Making strange sounds ...



Big jumpy finish!



They've wrapped up their tour (this was one of their last shows) and are now plotting a trip out west, following a handful of dates in Montreal.
