Some kind of kick

Montreal's Kickers are a duo who play stripped down rock with some dancy post-punk in it. Although it seemed simple I'd say there was great deal of thought in the arrangements, and a definite sympatico feel between the twosome.

Those Kickers: Victoria Morrison strums, Anne Gauthier thumps.



Victoria Morrison prowls.





Drummer Anne sings along; this was the first of two sets for her tonight.





Victoria managed some serious multitasking.



Kick action!



Entertaining stuff. This was their first show in Ottawa; hopefully they'll be back for the big Ladyfest do in September.

• Show reminder: Pelican, Mono and Mare destroy all eardrums at Barrymore's.
