Bluesfest: Final Flash

Sometimes a band just doesn't live up to its billing. Not to say that Final Flash was buried under a pile of superlatives, but the intriguing description of "psychedelic folk-rock" didn't match what my ears were hearing on the main stage. Then again I see another review tagged them as inspired by the British Invasion, so perhaps we're all just confused.

Guitarist Alexandre Girard works the doubleneck.

It was all okay, but after a little while I wandered off to check out some Australian ska.
