Seconds of ecstasy

The White Wires are running on a high right now, touring right and left in the wake of their second album, WWII. The positive reviews and Twitter reports are pouring in from all over, so the official word is: They are keen. Of course we Ottawans already know that, so naturally they were picked to share a stage with the similarly named Bay Area combo Bare Wires and Puerto Rican devil-worshippers Davila 666. Their April 14 set was short and to the point.

But first DJ and (and Mother's Children guy) Ken spins the hits.
