Riot on York Street

I made a foray out to the Dominion Tavern Saturday night to check out Raw Raw Riot's CDrelease show. There was a ton of shows happening around the same time, but I was keen to check out BlackBread, having caught them playing with Public Animal at the House of Targ at their monthly shindig in August. Unfortunately I was delayed by computer nonsense and only caught a few songs.

Their 1970s rock style was a bit of a departure from the other acts.

To quote one audience member: "You sure can wail!"

Yogi's keeping busy ... this means BlackBread is now 50% Klovenhoofs.

Things take a streetpunk turn after the jump ...
After some fundraising for the Rock Camp for Girls, it was Des Bacon's turn at bat. And by Des Bacon, I mean West Ottawa beerpunks Sketchy Poutine, who decided to perform under a pseudonym for some reason. Here's Chocolate Sean running around in front of the crowd.

Raw Raw Riot wrapped things up with some more streetpunk sounds, but I was starting to feel seriously run down, so I toddled off back home after the first few songs. Here's Jamie kicking things off.

A couple of tunes later and I was definitely hearing my bed calling.
