It was a might chilly out last night, but not cold enough to stop the rock'n'roll denizens of Bytown from trekking to the House of Targ and listening to some punk and rock courtesy of power-pop titans Mother's Children, crazed quintet Party Knives and new-ish punk combo Raw Raw Riot. All three bands put on fine sets, and there was plenty of wacky crowd action to go with it.
First up Raw Raw Riot with some shouty punk!

Party Knives were on next, and as usual chaos resulted, largely thanks to the rambunctious denizens of the Fun Boy Clubhouse, anda big stuffed pony - always a mercurial combination! But first, Owen takes a stand!
