Never say die

I headed over to Targ last week for some hard rock action. The headliner was Diemonds, but I was more interested in the opening act, Vancouver's Pigeon Park, who have a heavy blues rock sound (and did a killer cover of Led Zep's Immigrant Song). Here's guitarist Kevin and bassist Artur!

I've seen Diemonds a couple of times. This was Day 3 on a big cross-country tour (they're somewhere between Winnipeg and Saskatoon right now) and they were sounding pretty hot. Even if their music doesn't really blow me away, they always put on a high-energy show.

And now for a bit of a postcript/edit since for some reason a bunch of photos I took didn't upload properly and I didn't realize they were there when I first composed the update - here's a bit more Diemonds!
