Behind the garage door

Garaga is definitely climbing up the list of bands I've seen play a lot - they've passed frontman Jeff's other band Harshey and are tied with guitarist Shawn's previous outfit, the Mighty Eagle Band. Thrills! Anyway, this Dominion show marked the official entrance of Blackball/Resin Scraper drummer Dave Faught, who suits the combo to a T.

Jeff sings!



Colin handles the low end!



Shawn strums!



And last but not least, Dave drums shirtlessly!



The whole lot!



A shouty bit!



Shawn's under there somewhere.



Jeff gesticulates!



Bendy action!



More hitting!



What the?!?



Shawn scrapes!



Fisheyed action!



Wheedly action!



Extra strumming!



Extra bonus shirtlesss drumming action!



I think Colin is wondering what's with all the Sanata Clausses.



Jeff goes down!



The guitar-raising end!



Another swell, mosh-inspiring performance.
