When I arrived Average Times were just finishing their last song. You've got Tim Ostler, Todd Faux ... is that Stabatron from Hellbros? and a lady drummer I don't know (or was perhaps too blitzed to recognize).

New Swears is another new band I haven't seen before, but filled with folks from The Polymorphines and The Girlfriends/Rat Tales massive. Drums were abused, shoes were destroyed, misbehaviour was misbehaved ... as you'd expect from this collection of miscreants! They also had a strobe light going in broad daylight - so they're bad for the environment too!

Roberta Bondar also performed a tight set. My brain was no longer working at this point, which is why I forgot to get a copy of their new tape from them.

Montreal's Solids (no "The", thank you!) are a hard-hitting duo with a loud fuzz sound that made me think a bit of a two-man Dinosaur Jr. at their droniest.

While that was going on, New Swears were causing havoc, or maybe having group sex.

Then I went over to the grass for a quick nap. While I was reclining, the couple near me were watching what the News Swears guys were up to and giving a play-by-play ("They tried to stand on each other's shoulders ... they just fell over.") - but soon enough it was time to arise and watch Owen from Party Knives beat up vegetables and run around shirtless.
