Unnatural Axe

After some serious glitter-sweeping, it was time for The Action to take the stage. Ottawa's first and only punk rock band deserve a lot of the blame and/or credit for getting dirty rock'n'roll back in the game, picking up the torch tossed from folks like Iggy Pop, The Velvet Underground, The New York Dolls and yes even The Rolling Stones back when the band still had an air of danger about them. It's punk rock from a more lascivious era (which explains Ted Axe sticking one of the burlesque ladies' heels down the front of his pants).

We'll start things off with a few Phantoms - John and Michael - while Ted Axe turns his back.
