Dog days

By the time Black Mastiff was on stage it was becoming pretty clear that Cafe DeKcuf might have been a better venue for the heavy duty psych rockers. Well, it was a small but enthusiastic crowd who were digging the Edmonton band's thick, vaguely Queens of the Stone Age grooves.

Guitarist Bobby Yiannakoulias in the red, plus drummer Allan Harding.



Meanwhile, by one of the band's pointy things we have bassist Clay Shea, who's also in Passenger Action with Allan.



The whole pointy lot!



Bobby sings!



Allan hits!



Clay rocks the frizzy hair!



Rhythm section action!



More Bobby!



Allan sings!



Extra bonus Bobby.



Bending action!



More Clay.



I enjoyed it enough to buy an EP and one of their very cool T-shirts.
