The green man

Sometimes you take your shows where you find them, particularly with my horrid schedule. I'd say this particular evening was quite solid, even if the headliner wasn't someone I was hugely interest in, you know Laurent Bourque is going to put on a good show and Toronto's Treasures seemed most promising. First up at Cafe DeKcuf, Bourque, the Ottawa-born, current Montreal resident and former Spark membr doing the solo thing.

He was already in full swing when I walked in the door.



"I'd like to explain that I did not tousle my hair like this ... it was the wind that did it."



The other side of Laurent!



Well, basically it's a lot of Laurent photos today ...



It's a bit minimalist, I know.



Scrunchy action!



A shouty bit!



And so on ...



That should hold you to his next show in the area, which happens to be at blacksheep, June 11.

• Show reminder: The Crackling and Kris Ward play Cafe Dekcuf; Ruby Spirit and Full-Tipped Sleeve play Zaphod's; Prett Melberts and The Best Friend Patrol, The Ginger Fox Band, Move Your Mountain and EMAN perform at the Elmdale.
