Not quite all right

We're almost caught up. Here we are at Mavericks, less than a week ago, for their set opening for Little Scream and Julie Doiron. Last time I saw them at Mavericks, they were quite loud and rocking. For this set they were sicker, more sobre and using a somewhat elderly drum kit. Despite being somewhat under the weather, they put on a cozy set with an energetic finish covering Guided By Voices.

Mel sings, Dave looks on.



Chris sings!



Okay, I've got to up the shutter speed a bit.



Shouty Mel! And I'd like to point out her fingernails and top are colour-coordinated.



More Mel, plus Jon.



Dave sings!



Jon hits!



Faceoff action!



Dave sings!



Mel rocks out.



Rhythm section action!



Dave bends!



More Jon!



Chris bends!



The whole bendy lot!



Dave frets!



I took some lowlight photos, most of which did not really work ...



The end!



Hopefully they will be healthier and drunker next time they play.
