Bluesfest: The Balconies

The Balconies are another Ottawa band I can always stand to see more of. They were a Gaga Weekend revelation a few years back, and have impressed on all subsequent occasions. They now reside mostly in Toronto, but make frequent trips home, including an upcoming date at Mavericks. But first some July snaps, where frontwoman Jacquie was looking very rock.

Steve handles the low end.



Liam hits!



Closeup action! Or at least as close as I can get with my point and shoot.



They even have their own balloons!



Headbanging action!



Hair-shaking action!



Extra Liam!



Steve sings!



Mop-topped action!



Shirtless action!



The shouty bit!



The rocking end!



They're in Europe right now, but are coming back for a Canadian tour in February, with a stop at Mavericks February 14.
