Let there be Mega

Megaphono descended on Ottawa last week, bringing with it scores of musical acts and music industry folks for a whole mess of networking and discussion grouping and performing. I went to House of Targ to see Michael Rault perform; the first act on the bill was Toronto's Queen of Swords, a new project from Aerin Fogel of The Bitters.

Michael Rault brought things too a most satisfying conclusion with his classic rock and pop-loving sounds. Here's Michael!



I made a note of who the other musicians in his band were, but my iPhone ate it, so all I can say is there's a two-in-five chance that at least one of these guys is named Matthew.



Guitar action!
