Sign of the Cross

Cross Dog are one of those bands it's good to check out at every opportunity - they always put on a fierce set. This House of Targ show also featured a couple of bands I haven't seen enough of lately Wire Cuffs and Quiet Crimes, and Deathsticks, who its never a bad idea to see. Wire Cuffs started things off with some old school style punk. Here's Slim and Popular's Brendan on vocals!

I caught Deathsticks just last month opening for Metz, and once again they ripped it up. Here's Matt!

On to Quiet Crimes, who strangely enough I've only caught live once (at a Remembrance Day show last year at the Dom), despite crossing paths with at least two-thirds of the band fairly often and enjoying their QUOTSA-grunge-desert rock sound. Anyway, here's some bass action with Chris!
