Birthday boys

I missed them at Ottawa Explosion, but fortunately Pregnancy Scares played a couple of weeks later at the end of July, a couple days in advance of the birthdays of Year Zero man Brad McOuat and Bruised Tongue chap Craig. The venue: Brad's apartment - his kitchen, to be exact.

Amps on? Stove off? Then proceed!



Davey in a festiv mood, Craig on top of Dave Forcier's drum kit.



Pierre snaps as Craig sings.



Bending action!



Dave hits!



The shouty Bit! Well, I guess they're all shouty bits ...



Bonus yelling!



Emmanuel rocks the low end.



Fisheye action!



More Dave!



Headbanging action!



Guitar-stepping action!



Craig works the floor!



By crazy coincidence, Weird Canada just said nice things about their demo..
