Gotta have shakes

Although Joan Jett would have been a nice way to end the night, there were other doings a-fixin' over at Ritual, with Bored to Death featuring the release party for Mother's Children's new LP, That's Who! which is currently receiving praise both near and far. Fortunately they waited for other concert-goers to show up so just about everyone who wanted to caught the whole set.

First, I shot a photo of a freshly wed DJ Ian Manhire, showing off his wedding ring.


Also a dog-loving DJ Daniel.



And now, on to them Children! Kenneth MacLaurin has his checkered side.



Davey prefers plaid.



Singalong action with Michael!



Drumming and Queen appreciation from Tim!



Davey gets some mid-air refuelling.



Motherly action!



Staring action!



Tim hits!



The shouty bit!



Childish action!

The good-lookin' crowd goes wild!



The end!
