Kitchener's Sierra describe themselves as "stoner prog." For some reasons that makes me think of songs about unicorns doing drugs. Anyway, there was none of that, just good riffy songs that made me think of Firebird.

A whole lot of gear on stage last night ....

Lazer/Wulf are a trio from Georgia. They set a more blistering place in a more technical style that got a lot of cheers from the crowd. They mostly skipped on the vocals and just tore along on their instruments.

On to White Hill. These guys were the act I was really there to see and it's unfortunate that they only had a half hour to strut their psychedelic monster stomp. They went full on budget rock star with some mascara, leather pants and smoke machine.

And velvet. Can't forget the velvet and see-through bass. Their set was over way too soon, but hopefully John Westhaver will get them back for a show at the Dom.

Kylesa really killed it. I like their albums fine, but don't find them as memorable as, say Red Fang's stuff. Live however they just destroyed. They had a ton of pedals, a theremin and a skateboard with a pickup and strings across the trucks for making some strange sounds.
