Top to bottom

I took another trip to House of Targ last week, to catch sets by Peaks, Vile Bodies and Bike Thiefs. Peaks were already going when I walked in, and seem like an energetic bunch. Here's singer Nick!

I enjoyed The Vile Bodies ramshackle rock'n'roll action when I caught them playing with The Mad Ones, Rebelle and Nightshades last year at Targ; they make the think of Memphis combos like The Reigning Sound. Here's some singalong guitar action with Mike and Elliott!

Bike Thiefs come out of Toronto with some deadpan vocals and Cop Shoot Cop buzz - they're a bit McKlusky-like, I'd say. Here's frontman Marko making a very important point!
