Out of warranty

After leaving Yogi's I walked down the pathway near Colonel By Drive to the downtown and Mavericks for Day 2 of the Ottawa Explosion and the The Fucking Machines. Several years ago - some time in the fall of 2005 - I saw their first show at Babylon. This was their last (until the big cash-in reunion).

Dave Jackson rocks the six strings!



And let us not forget Dave Williams, a mostly obscured Colin Vincent, Scott Terry, a back-there-somewhere John Sproull and Johnny Nash.



Johnny sings!



Dave bends!



John hits!



Fucking action!



CiV sings!



Bonus Sproull!



Scott sings!



Mechanical action!



More Scott'n'Johnny.



The view from the other side of the stage!



The whole lot!



Bearded action!



The end!



It was an auspicious run, and their legacy lives on in BandCamp.
