We and she

I don't see many tribute bands. In fact, I don't think I've seen any, apart from Sheezer. I would suspect that the ladies of Sheezer - mostly luminaries of Toronto's indie music scene - conceived of the plan while drunk had I not heard on good authority they were mostly sober at the time. Anyway, they put on a great show with equally enthusiastic audience participation.

But before things start, it's time to pose for a photo or two with Dana Sneel of The Adorables, The Phonemes' Magali Meagher and Robin Hatch from Sports.


The band is rounded out by well-known T.O. booker Alysha Haugen on lead guitar and thumb-pianist extraordinaire Laura Barrett.

Sailor Moonish action!



Magali sings!



Guitar action!



The shouty bit!



Robin rocks the harp.



Even more guitar!



Robin frets.

Face-making action!



And now it's time for the audience to show off their chops ...



Singalong action!



Faceoff action!



Gesticulating action!



Strike a pose!



Rocking action!



Alysha frets!



Johnny and Secret Lover Christine models a fab Sheezer T-shirt.

Bendy action!



Some pre-encore deliberation.

The strap-breaking end!



And that's it for now ...
