The fish and the fury

What's good after punk? Even more punk! With the closure of Zaphod's some shows were hunting for venues, which is why I took an early evening stroll over to Babylon to see Iron Chic. Last time I saw the Long Island band was at a couple of Ottawa Explosion shows in 2012. Jon Creeden & The Flying Hellfish were cranking things up as I walked in. Here's Jon!



Guitar and bass action with Steve and Kieran!

Percussive action with Anthony!

The group also paid tribute to baseball teammate and all-around Ottawa scene MVP Jean-Sebastien Belleau with their ode to his famed handlebar mustache.



More Jon!



There was a surprise special guest at the show - perhaps I should put "surprise" in quotes since Daggermouth's co-touring with Iron Chic was hardly a secret. Here's some guitar action with Stuart!



Percussive action with Dan!

Iron Chic finished things off with a hot set. I'm not sure who is in the band these days (apart from bassist Dumps and singer Jay), so it's on to the pictures!

A great end to the night.
