Screen and stage

This was a good weekend for fans of Saskatoon's Shooting Guns - the riff-loving soundtrack sages were in town to play two nights at the Mayfair, performing to F.W. Murnau's classic vampire silent Nosferatu. They followed up with a show at Pressed of material from the other albums and soundtracks, along with a preview of material from their upcoming Another Wolf Cop. I didn't take any snaps at the Mayfair for obvious reasons, but I did catch their set at Pressed, where Cardinal Fuzz labelmates The Band Whose Name Is A Symbol opened things up (it was also an album release for Quality Rolls, their new split with Crab Boat). Here's a slightly smoked Bill!
