Temple of buzz

It was a swell time at the Dominion Tavern Saturday night with Montreal's The Fuzz headlining, Dagger Eyes rocking out and new Ottawa trio Neck making their on-stage debut.

If you've been following the blog for a while you'll know everyone involved in Neck: Jeff from Garaga and Harshey plays guitar, while Kevin and Bevans from The Visitors and The Creeps handle rhythm section duties.

And they sound just like you'd think a combination of those bands would!

Last time I saw Dagger Eyes was at The Dominion, back in December. They're sticking to their guns.

Oh, and Ilona has a big new tattoo on her right arm, which I failed to properly document.

Montreal combo The Fuzz seems to be entirely composed of  Ottawa expats: You've got a couple of Matts (from Mannequin and Thee Nodes), and of course Rodney from The Holy Cobras on drums. They make a very Stooges-esque sound.

A super set; I can hardly wait for a record.
