Running up that hill

Trio Move Your Mountain call themselves powerpop ... this was apparently their first show and they came off quite well indeed. They've got a vigorous rhythm section and good taste in covers, and their own songs seem pretty sharp.

Here's bassist Tetsu Takara.



Guitarist Kevin James Ochal.



And drummer Chris Macdonald, last seen hitting the skins for Boom Creek.



Rhythm section action!



Fuzzy Kevin action!



The whole lot!



Tetsu sings! I feel like I'm seeing a lot of those Jaguar basses nowadays ...



The shouty bit!



Chris hits!



Clapping action!



Squiggly action!



Fiery action!



The whole lot again!



The end!



A very solid debut.
