I won't say they didn't try.
They asked the audience to sing the chorus to one of their songs, which as far as I can tell went "And maybe a Lexus." GTO namedropping I can bear, but Lexus?
To sum up, an energetic performance about which I cared very little. I was prepared to not be interested by the next performance, if only because they swiped their name from a band that is well enough known to discourage such things. Since The Undead's bassist is sporting a Misfits shirt I'd like to think they'd heard of Bobby Steele's offshoot, but we live in dire times so perhaps not. After seeing the lead singer's hoodie and off-centre ball cap I was a little worried that I was about to be subjected to a short set of rap rock. Fortunately The Undead play a sort of doom-death metal hybrid in the vein of dISEMBOWELMENT, Winter and such evil kin. Active stage performance too. Unfortunately I couldn't find out much about these guys either.
I like the lighting in this photo a lot.
Wish I'd gotten in both feet in this one ...
Mosh pit action!
Solid show from these guys. They aren't note-perfect, but they've got the right vibe.
- Show reminder: The Last Vegas perform at Baylon with the reunited Phantom Shifters; Clock Strikes, The Possums and Amos the Transparent play Cafe Dekcuf.

i love dISEMBOWELMENT! - Shub
Andrew - I don't know if anyone's ever done so, but thank you for your insight and forthrightness.
Our "local" scene believe it or not puts the Vancouver scene to shame. I.M.O. National Capital Rock proves this. There always seems to be something interesting and creative going on. Andrew your doing a fantastic job covering the Ottawa scene.
