Baberaham Lincoln were first up. Unfortunately, guitarist Jenna's gear was nicked earlierr in the week, so she was playingon a borrowed guitar.

Jenna sings!

More guitar!

Percussive action!

Extra Jenna!

And so on!

Vulva Culture make me think of My Bloody Valentine, Mazzy Star and other bands I listened to when I was at college (the first time, that is). Here's Amy, Bianca, Evan and Kayla (regulation bassist Hannah had to stay in Nova Scotia)!

Kayla prepares to step on a pedal.

Amy sings!

Bianca hits!

Evan also drums in Mauno.

Yep, it's a bit dark in Mugshots for flashless photography.

More Bianca!

More Kayla and Evan!

Cultural action!

Guitar action!

Mauno played a very heavy set; in addition to his bass duties in Vulva Culture, Evan is also a monster drummer. Nick Everett has played under his own name and in Burdon, and bassist Eliza Niemi has kept busy out East as well. As Mauno they've been compared to Grizzly Bear, which I can hear, but I can't recall Grizzly Bear being as loud or propulsive when I saw them at Barrymore's eons ago.

Nick sings!

Evan hits!

Nick frets!

Eliza rocks the plaid.

The shouty bit!

Singalong action!

Candlelit action!

Eliza sings, takes a turn on guitar.

Great sets, and a good crowd for a chilly Tuesday.
