From basement to book store

Last week I headed over to Ottawa South to check out a couple of Southern Ontario acts: Burlington's Grey\\Water and Hamilton's Basement Revolver. Both have their ears aimed solidly in the direction of 1990s college rock - I'd say Mazzy Star and The Pixies play a large role in their sound, with some shoegazing mixed in for good measure. Grey\\Water were up first; they've just released a new EP; here's Devon and Charlotte!

Basement Revolver also have a new EP under their belt. I can see the trio going on to much bigger things, buoyed largely by singer Chrisy's excellent voice. Here she is with drummer Brandon!



Nimal handles bass and keys.

A nice evening.
