Sunday wonder

It turns out that even in March you can have a show on Sunday night. Now, not a lot of folks turned up for this Pressed gig, but it was a pleasantly convivial show with lots of familiar faces. Headliner Jon Hynes, for example was last seen on the blog playing bass as one of "The Replacements" at the Punk Rock Covers show in April 2012, along with Dave Banoub and John Sproull, who also made on-stage appearances.

First up, Wunderstrands. And yes, Jon is in this band too, along with Mara Pellerin of Gramercy Riffs, Brad Kirkland of Holy Fuck (albeit not on any of the occasions when I've seen them) and Shaun Brodie (like Hynes, an occasional Hidden Camera). As usual, Mara's vocals sounded great. There was also fine covers of work by Victor Lewis and Neil Young's Expecting to Fly.



Brad hits!



Singalong action!



Shaun, as seen through the entranceway window.



Mara also took a spin on guitar.



Jon played an acoustic set at Raw Sugar a few days ago with Chris Page; this time around he had Dave and John on hand. Unfortunately bassist Don Ellis' flight was trapped in Newfoundland, so there was a bit of filling in going on. 



Guitar action!



And even more guitar with Dave.



A bit of bass.



Mara and Shaun then added some brass to the last couple of numbers.



Studio recordings are promised in the not-too-distant future.
