The quiet side of loud

Phew! Time for an oh-so brief respite from The Gaga Weekend, and a return to the start of June, and Carleton University, where CKCU was holding its Blow The Doors Open shindig at Rooster's - plans to hold it outside having been shelved on account of rain earlier in the day. The Suppositories wrapped things up with a quieter-than-usual set (exams nearby, y'know) but were still pretty damn loud. I've been shooting more video with my Nikon. I'm still not quite convinced my D90's capabilities are all that great, but part of the crappiness of this particular shoot can be chalked up to unfamiliarity.

Here's Wires, in not so glorious sound!



And they're off!



Guitar-raising action!



Billy stays above the trees.



Profile action!



Ian sings!'



Monitor-standing action!



Rooster's does have a nice view going for it.



A shouty bit!



More Mark!



More Ilona!



More Billy!



Ian works the crowd. Todd from Savage Crimes just popped in after taking an exam.



The rarely seen other side of Ian.



And that's all ... for a week or so, when I'll post a bunch more of them playing Gaga Weekend 3's opening night at Nine.

• Show reminder: Strike Anywhere, Bane, Lowtalker and Touche Amore rock Mavericks; The Paperbacks and The Details are at The Rainbow Bistro; Fanshaw and Shane Turner Overdrive play Raw Sugar. Templo Diez pop into the Avant-Garde Bar, along with River City Junction and Manahil.
