Buried treasure

Treasure Hunt: They came, they played, they went. They have twice the drummers and twice the bassists of most bands. They are somewhat loud. Since the various members all seem to be part of other, busy, combos, with one exception, I'm curious to see if we'll ever see or hear from the again.

Here's Wolf Parade's Arlen Thompson and Wintersleep's Loel Campbell.

Sparkly drumming action!

Come to think of it, it's all rhythm section action. Here's the no-flash version.

After this show they played a few more dates then went off to do their regular band gigs ... Wintersleep, for one, have just wrapped a European tour with a show at the Bataclan in Paris.
  • Show reminder: Bloomistry play The Rainbow. Sin Sisters, Lefty McRighty and Maxim Cossette play the Elmdale House, they'll be accepting toys for donation; Pete Vandyk performs at the Avant-Garde.
