SBSW: Night Three, Part Two

Back at Black Squirrel Books, I checked out Panic Attack, a Quebec City  crew who promise "three guys, three chords." Here's Nick on drums!

Then it was back to Targ for some heavy post-rock action with Toronto's Respire. Here's violinist Eslin and guitarist Rohan!

Last time I saw BBQT (come to think of it, it was the first time, too) was at last year's Ottawa Explosion. Fun pop sounds then as now. They had also just released a new EP, Nice View. Here's Amery and Mikey!

Bondar finished the night off. It's been about five years since I saw them last, at a Gabba Hey show put on by the Ottawa Explosion crowd (which might have been the last time anyone saw them; if not, close to it). There was a good crowd to catch their reunion, and the band sounded fantastic. Here's Gary working some feedback!
