Goodbye girl

Another night at work, then off to Babylon just in time to miss the first two bands! But I wasn't going to miss the night entirely, since it was likely the last The White Wires will be playing in this town for some time to come. As reported earlier, Allie Hanlon (also of Peach Kelli Pop, who opened the show) is off West, so until she makes a return visit (possibly around the time the Wires head off to Austin for SXSW 2010?)

Allie rocks the whiskers!



You can't really tell from this photo, but Ian also had a painted-on mustache.



Everybody gets on stage to sing along for Ha-Ha Holiday.



And a final posed picture with Luke making funny faces.



The band wrapped up a recording earlier in the day and promise between one "Or maybe 20!" more shows in Ottawa.

• Show reminder: In a somewhat different vein, pH, Project and Boyscout Killers perform at Mercury Lounge; Wise, Young and King, The Gospel and In Kaleidoscope are at The Rainbow; Erik Jørgensen, Keturah Johnson, Jonathan Becker and  The Panama try their hand at the Avant-Garde.
