The children of the eighties

I went to Zaphod Beeblebrox last Saturday to show some pre-Thanksgiving love for a slew of fine ands, domestic and imported. Hardcore quartet DOXX, post-garage rockers The Sedatives and Sheffield's Sievehead and Montreal's No Negative made up the killer lineup. First up, DOXX, featuring many folks you've seen in other bands. Here's Sof, the one member new to me.

Despite their full schedule of other bands and construction projects the members of The Sedatives seem to be hitting the boards pretty frequently since their return at Ottawa Explosion. Here's Ian and Steve (of The Steve Adamyk Band, of course)!

Well there are a few more so-so Sedatives snaps on my Flickr stream for those interested in what Steve and Emmanuel look like when they're out-of-focus ... on to No Negative, bringing the heavy psyche noise like only they can. Here's Matt (New Humans and sundry other psyche combos)!
