Yes, it was time for Uranium Comeback's anuual show! They even had a new song this time.

Grime Kings are a youthful trio - they all sported "no drinking allowed" Xs on their hands. They come from Belleville and deal in distorted indie rock with a few funky bits thrown in.

Back downstairs for the mighty rumble of Dagger Eyes.

Upstairs, there was a whole lotta harmonizing with Philadelphia's Eeries.

Once again, Strange Attractor's Brit-style '77-themedrock had the crowd jumping about.

There were a couple of Bay area bands in the house as well. San Francisco's Dreamdate were probably the prettiest band at the festival, at least musically, with more harmonizing.

Last time I saw Needles//Pins was in the basement of the Kent St. Legion. They were great then, and were great again on Saturday, with plenty of good-natured heckling for the Ottawa expatriates.

Spencey Dude and The Doodles were, as their name suggested, kind of goofy. They're actually part of Greg Ashley's circle - he produced their album and bassist Oscar has also served in his band (meanwhile, Dreamdate bassist Anna Hillburg switches over to drums).

Finally, the festival's grand finale, Portland's Mean Jeans rocked Mavericks but good. Things started a littler later than expected and had to be cut short, but still enough time for a bunch of dynamite Ramones-style rockers and some surprise wedding proposing.

I was feeling so bagged I was almost relieved when they had to call it quits.
