First up, Dead Weights. They feature various members of I Refuse, Wooka Tribe and acoustic punk rocker Jon Creeden. I only caught the last song but I detect a definite Jawbreaker influence (and not for the last time last night).

Next up were Toronto's Permanent Bastards, or at least three-quarters of them. Their bassist took a powder a couple of days ago, forcing them to recruit Chris from The Flatliners so they could bring their Drive Like Jehu-meets-Bruce Springsteen tunes to town, along with a cover of Hot Snakes Braintrust.

Hamilton also played a killer set. The band features veterans of Antennas, Alaskan and New Teeth, among others. They certainly zipped through it. I doubt any of the songs clock in over two minutes.

The least noisy band of the evening was The Mnemonics - and that's saying something, considering the band's three guitar attack.

A great show, though I'm really jonesing for the return of my still defunct flash.
- Show reminder: Dave Norris and Local Ivan with opener Erin Saoirse Adair roll into the Elmdale house. Hilotrons and Mike Essoudry and The Mashed Potato Mashers will be making Babylon party central. Early Transcendentals, Adam Saikaley, Shane Whitbread, and Lipstick Lesbian will be making strange noises at the Avant-Garde Bar; Lil Blues Pill and The Big Chill hit The Rainbow.
