On Friday I went off to Pressed to catch some indie-rocking and singer-songwriting acts. The occasion was the release of Jon Hynes' new CD, Watchful Creatures.
Another Jon, Jonathan Pearce of Winchester Warm, started things off with some stuff from his regular band, performed solo style. Here he is, conveniently backlit by the street light outside.
Profile action!
The man in full, plus lighting.
Callum Runciman of Grime Kings and Boyhood notoriety was going to perform solo, but decided to recruit bandmate Jimmy before showtime. Thus, he sung and drummed.
Jimmy!
Glowing whatsit action!
Callum sings!
Extra Jimmy!
The whole lot!
On to the headliner. The first time Jon showed up on the blog was helping some Centretown Recording Alliance pals cover the Replacements back in 2012, around the start of his Ottawa residency. He's played with The Hidden Cameras, among other acts. For his CD release he recruited Rolk Klausener (The Acorn, etc.), Sarah from Fevers, CRA pal Dave Banoub, and Army of Saint Joan vet Pat Johnson (Also of many other bands). Here's Jon!
Pat and Sarah ...
Rolf! Dave! Jon sings!
Backlit action!
More Sarah!
The shouty bit!
Dave strums.
Pat counts in!
More Jon!
Rolf sings!
They finished things off with a cover of Guided By Voices' Game of Pricks.
