The blackest holiday

Paul "Yogi" Granger isn't just smarter than the average bear, proprietor of Sawed Off Studio and 25% of Ukrainia. He's also 33.3% of Tokyosexwhale and operator of the Meatlocker that bears his name. So it's probably a good thing that the latter two came together for Round 2 in the heavy-ending sweepstakes at Gaga Weekend.

First, some video action. They didn't actually sound this blown out, it's just the D90's teeny-tiny microphone cannot handle their awesome decibels.



Speaking of Yogi, hear he is!



And speaking of bassist-singer Julia Loan, here she is!



Lower ...



Lowest!



The crowd goes wild! See that open garage door at the back? Not for long ....



Singalong action!



More J.P. Sadek, doing a double-header on the drums.



The whole lot!



Hair-waving action!



A new album is on the way - I seem to recall they had advance CDs - with an official release slated for August 28.

• Show reminder: Bicycling home last night (or to be precise, this morning), who did I spot but Michael Caffrey postering for tonight's Chilled Heat! show at Club SAW with Futensil, Famouse Squids, Drainolith, Mannequin and raas. Face of Jam play The Rainbow; Something You Whisper, The Authors Of My Life and The Sunday Fire perform at Mavericks.
