Back to the basement

There was some hope The Sweet Janes/Regulations show would be moved to Cafe Dekcuf. To tell the truth I was shocked that more people didn't buy tickets. Eight bucks is too much for The Regulations, one of the best punk rock bands around, plus local highlights The Sweet Janes? Phooey. Anyway, The Sweet Janes put on a swell but short set with Luke from The Million Dollar Marxists filling in on bass. This was the first set by them with new guitarist Rod Royale that I'd seen.

This bounced flash picture turned out interesting.



Sweet action!



They finished off with a cover of Long Tall Sally. They're playing with The Rookers at The Dom on Remembrance Day. They've also got a show coming up at the A&A Speed Shop with a bunch of folks, including Toronto's Brutal Knights on Nov. 18.
