Below the belt

After the experimental psychedelic tour-de-what of Butterflies & Zebras and Mahogany Frog at Club SAW it was a short walk to Ritual to see the final set from brutish minimalists The Suppositories, with support from Montreal combo Genital Hospital. The band is apparently composed of a quartet of Cirque de Soleil trampoline trainers who go by the names of Pierre, Brian, Stiff and Fusil. I think Pierre plays the Danelectro and Brian or Fisul plays the drums, but I won't swear to it. I will however say they feature members of The Confusers and Demon's Claws, and sound like it.

In this corner ... three-fourths of the band! I seem to recall B-Man Le Duke manning the traps in the Claws, but here he is on bass. I fmy deductions are correct, that would make the guitarist Stiff (or Stef, as he's called in The Confusers) and Brian the drummer. Don't quote me.



Pierre Pressure rocks the Danelectro.



More Pierre!



Singing drummer action!



Low-down action!



Stiff action!



The whole lot!



The crowd goes wild!



See-through action!



Singalong action!



Bendy action!



Dan-o action!



More lowdown stuff!



More drumming!



A lot of fun; hopefully they'll be back to rock the town soonish.
