Moral majority

Jeans Boots was followed by The Ethics. The Ottawa band has been around for several years now. They played a set of pretty sharp pop music; the recorded stuff I've heard has a folky tinge and reminds me of a soft-spoken Wilco. Live, as is often the case, they had much more oomph.

Kevin Hersak goes Nudie.



Jeff Gleeson sings!



Also in the band, but tricky to photograph due to the Raw Sugar's layout are keyboardist Marcus Ward, drummer Paul Ross and bassist Matt Arnold, who has appeared here before in The Soiree.



Stringy action!



Keyboard action!



Kevin bends!



More Matt!



The whole lot!



Fashionable action!



The end!



A really nice performance of songs that are intended for their next album.

• Show reminder: Jeff Andrew, Jesse Hill and The Rough Sea play The Rainbow; Ann Walton, Megan Jerome and Peter Duschenes are at the Elmdale.
