Ottawa Explosion: Day 1

Okay, maybe not really, Day 1, since there was a short movie presentation and pass-pickup event at Oz Kafe in the Byward Market. However, this Wednesday show was the first night for band performances, with sets from The Heavy Medicine Band, Expanda Fuzz and Foam (unfortunately, New York combo Fruit & Flowers got stopped at the border). Here's Keturah (recently seen opening for Sparklesaurus at St. Alban's) starting things off!

It was pretty dark, so I took a few shots with flash.

Expanda Fuzz expanded their set since F&F were delayed. Here's Leila!

Foam also played a longer set, although their tunes are so brief that "longer" is even more of a relative term than usual. They've also gone through a bit of a lineup change since I saw them tear up Black Squirrel Books back in August 2017. Here's they're new drummer, Will. He seems enthusiastic!
