We never learn

If you caught Friday night's Allrights show you may soon find yourself thinking "Man, those guys are everywhere!" Because here we go with yet another Kiely-Banoub-Cook combo, The Mnemonics at Cafe DeKcuf (if you were wondering when Mel Sturk comes in, just wait a couple of days, for my Johnnies photos). They were the next band on the bill for Ottawa Explosion's Thursday night kaboom. First a show downstairs at Mavericks, now a set upstairs.

The big difference between The Mnemonics is that Dave Banoub's wearing The Middens T-shirt instead of Chris.



Also Jon is on guitar (as is Chris Cook).



And Colin Majid is on bass.



Brian mans the kit.



Closeup action!



Extra Cook.



Guitar-lifting action!



Colin glows a bit. That central light at the Cafe is darn bright - I don't even need flash.



Singalong action!



The feedbacking end!



They played a couple of weeks ago at Irene's, so there might be a temporary respite in Mnemonics sightings.
