Hot time in the city

Hot Springs put on a smoking show at Irene's; Les Allumettes were fine as usual - a bit more post-punk than I recall from their Mavericks' show, and the previously unknown (to me that is) Kickers proved to be a top notch minimalist duo.

Nina and Natasha.



Victoria Morrison and Anne Gauthier.



Hot Springs - fronted by Giselle Webber, bassist Fred, Anne again and Remy round out the group.



The above picture was taken in a rare moment of calm: This show ended with Giselle rolling around in a puddle of ice cubes and broken glass (which she by some miracle avoided), then spanking Fred with her microphone.
