The fax of life

So a few days after The Suppositories have gone into the great beyond, I got word of another heavy-sounding show - The Great Sabatini at Mavericks, plus a bunch of fellow travellers in the metal-meets-hardcore vein. First band on deck was Black Faxes, whose sund leaned more heavily toward the punk side of the equation.

Growler-in-chief Graham works the floor.



Guitarist Peter tilts a bit.



Rhythm section action with bassist Lou and drummer Marty.



Graham really works the floor.



Marty hits!



The shouty bit!



Bad Brains!



More Graham!



More Lou!



More Marty!



I think Graham is happier when he's closer to the ground ...



More Peter!



The whole lot!



Singalong action!



Extra bonus Lou!



The end!



My favourite band of the night, as I recall.
