Metal men

I popped over to the House of Targ for some perogies and heavy metal (in that order, I was hungry). I'd already seen Droid perform in the basement of 612 Gladstone, and Flying Fortress on a couple of occasions, but opener Canceric was new to me. The band hails from Montreal and do the growly death-thrash thing so popular with the kids.

Things stayed smokey for Flying Fortress's set.

On to Droid, a band well in the tradition of Voivod. "This next song is about space."
