Roberta Bondar started things off right, garnishing their post-punk thrum with Christmas lights, free cookies and an innovative free EP giveaway - they handed out unique postcards to mail in to get a copy in return. I was super impressed with them when they played a house show back when the weather was warm in May, and even more so this time around.
Gary multitasks.
I also thought Bad Vibrations sounded great, a real heavy sound that made me think of Eric's Trip with a lot more oomph. I've seen K.C. Spidle before when he was part of Dog Day; in Bad vibrations he's moved up to the guitar position. Evan Cardwell, who also appears in Husband and Knife with Spidle plays bass, while Meg Yoshida drums.
More K.C.!
A super pre-Shameless crowd also helped things.
