In bloom

On to Bloomistry, who I had seen listed for many shows around town with performers I like (such as Flecton Big Sky, for one) but had never gotten around to checking out live. They're a bit psychedelic, a bit paisley pop ... I could see them on a bill with the Telescopic Eyes or High Dials.

A blurry Wayne K. Spear on guitar and Simon Meilleur on drums.



A less blurry Terry Calder on guitar (a presumably unblurred Dmitri Koev, there bass player, couldn't attend this performance).



A smoke-enshrouded Simon.



Downstroking action!



The red lights were a little too high for shooting without a flash.



Things were a bit better under the blue.



Oh wait, that's better!



Mmm, coloured lights!



Terry sings!



Big finish!



You can stream their entire album, To Be, at their Facebook should you so desire - and so you should.
