This was a good weekend for fans of Saskatoon's Shooting Guns - the riff-loving soundtrack sages were in town to play two nights at the Mayfair, performing to F.W. Murnau's classic vampire silent
Nosferatu. They followed up with a show at Pressed of material from the other albums and soundtracks, along with a preview of material from their upcoming
Another Wolf Cop. I didn't take any snaps at the Mayfair for obvious reasons, but I did catch their set at Pressed, where Cardinal Fuzz labelmates The Band Whose Name Is A Symbol opened things up (it was also an album release for
Quality Rolls, their new split with Crab Boat). Here's a slightly smoked Bill!
John hits!
Guitar action with Dave!
More Bill!
Rhythm section action with Nate!
More Dave!

Trumpet action with Nate!
Even more Dave!

On to Shooting Guns, who played a really crushing set. Here's some guitar action with Christopher!
More guitar and more beard with Keith!
Even more guitar with Zach!
Jim hits!
Bass action with Jay!
Keyboard action with Steve!
More Keith!
Things ended up with a rousing cover of Hawkwind's Silver Machine with Zach on vocals.
Great stuff all around!
