There will be blood

Finishing the night off were Blood Ceremony. I thought that Sons of Otis would be the closer, having several recordings under their belt to Blood Ceremony's sole debut, but in the end I must concede the effectiveness of the lineup.

But before we start the rock, Alia must pick a winner of the second of the evening's draws ....



On our left we have guitarist Sean Kennedy and drummer Andrew Haust.



On our right, flautist and singer Alia O'Brien and bassist Lucas Gadke.



There is something very 1970s about those Yamaha guitars ... and those sideburns.

And above!



Spooky vocal action!



Hair-shaking action!



Andrew hits!



Organ action!



Where do you buy a fringed, beaded vest nowadays?



Sean frets!



Alia flutes!



Fisheye action!



Even more hair-shaking!



Bendy action!



More Lucas!



The whole lot!



More Lucas!

Like Sons of Otis, Blood Ceremony's next tour plans also involve Europe ... they're off on tour with Ghost (the Swedish variety, not the Japanese one) in April.
