To the top

The Ottawa Explosion is rapidly hurtling toward its final detonation (of 2011, anyway), with yet another bunch of south-of-the-border buddies, Nashville's Heavy Cream. They're another Infinity Cat band (like Natural Child) and play what they call Stonehenge punk.

Amazingly enough, despite her outfit guitarist Mimi Galbierz is not Canadian.



Jessica McFarland sings! Keeping her in frame was not easy!



Singalong action!



Mimi rocks the stripes!



Jump around!



Tiffany drums!



And here's bassist Daniel over on the other side of the stage (is it just me or are an inordinate number of bassists named Daniel?).



Hockey love!



More Tiffany!



The whole lot!



Extra Jessica!



Bonus Daniel!



Creamy action!



Run for it!



Singalong action!



Hair-shaking, eye-rolling action!



The crowd liked Daniel so much it decided to keep him!



Back to the safety of the stage.



The end!



Gosh they're swell.
