Hits, hells and holes

Things are slowing down a bit as Christmas approaches, but there's still a whack of Christmas shows to go to, and a few other events like Thursday's Freh Hell-Stuck In A Hole- Direct Hit shindig at the Luneta cafe. Fresh Hell made their first appearance on the blog just this Sunday after their appearance at the Centretown Recording Association Xmas show, Stuck In A Hole were playing their last show, and Direct Hit are just touring Canada (their home base is in Milwaukee).

First off, Fresh Hell - who also happened to be a subject of our last non-flashback post.



Cory sings!



A shouty bit!



Another shouty bit!



The whole lot!



Vance hits!



On to Stuck In A Hole and Direct Hit after the jump.
This was SIAH's last gag, since drummer Theis is leaving Ottawa. They loaded up at the dollar store so they could wrap things up in style. Starting with sparklers!



Also top hats, modelled here by bassist Shawn Cross.



Hollowbody action!



Theis hits!



Singalong action!



The pinata only surrendered its candy after several stab wounds.



And of course the silly string.



Gripping action!



The end!



Direct Hit! finished the evening off with some very energetic pop-punk.



Nick Wood used to be in the Box Social before making Direct Hit! his full-time thing.



Devon Kay bends!



More Nick with bassist Steve Maury!



Danny Walkowiak hits!



Rhythm section action!



More Nick!



Singalong action!



Singer-grabbing action!



Chris likes guitar!



Instrument-rubbing action!



A fine night's out; Direct Hit! split in a hurry to escape the evening snowfall and should be playing Toronto tonight.
