As Tim goes by

A while back I went to Zaphod's to see a couple of folks passing through: Nova Scotian combo Mad Chatter and Edmontonian Tim Gilbertson. Gilbertson and company were up first. They're sometimes tagged as a power-pop band, and they certainly qualify for songs like the breezy Chipped Teeth; at other times I can hear West Coasters like Built To Spill; as mentioned earlier they've also been compared to Modest Mouse.

Here's Tim.
