The stars align

Former Galaxy lady Katie Stelmanis had a pretty good 2011, didn't she? Her debut album Feel It Break got raves right and left, and her tour with Young Galaxy and Tasseomancy drew sellout crowds.

First, the portrait of Dorian Wolfe (ex-Spiral Beach), who I completely failed to recognize in short hair (and also not looking 12).



Katie has continued her association with Fellow Galaxian Maya Potepski.



Keyboardist Ryan Wonsiak.



And the lady herself!



There will be wavy hand motions, and plenty of them!



Sari rocks the bauble.



Katie sings!



Katie goes green!



What's that?



Singalong action!



A little bit of extra Dorian.



More Katie and Romi!



And so on!



Bonus Dorian!



I tried to get a decent Ryan photo as I made a dash for the coat check (not quickly enough, I might add).



A lovely evening - the damn coatcheck lineup notwithstanding. She's heading to Brazil in May, then it's off to Europe for the summer.
