A storm in the east

I think I can officially confirm that the Sunday before Christmas, during a freezing rain storm, is not the best time to attract an audience. Fortunately a few folks trudged through the snow to check out an incursion from the Maritimes at Pressed, courtesy of Kappa Chow and Construction & Destruction. Remi Royale was also on hand to liven things up in the middle slot.

Kappa Chos is a bit of an oddity, since apparently there is both a Montreal version (featuring members of Astral Gunk and Devil Eyes) and a Sackville version. Joe Chamandy of Astral Gunk bonds the two version together.



The whole lot! Although I gather the Sackville lineup sometimes boasts five people - we got the touring version, I guess.



Bass action!



The shouty bit!



Singing drummer action!



Striptease action after the jump ....
Occasional Danzig impersonator Remi Royale was sandwiched between the two out-of-towners, and provided some dis and rerobing, along with low comedy and lower karoke.



Remi works the crowd!



On to Construction & Destruction, who come from Port Greville, N.S. The duo of Colleen Collins and Dave Trenaman switched instruments midway, trading spooky, wiry sunds in the vein of Julie Doiron (with a bit of P.J. Harvey) for something more like Ladyhawke.



Dave hits!



More Colleen!



The ol' switcheroo!



The whole lot!



Colleen hits!



Bonus Dave!



Kappa Chow and Construction & Destruction play Handlebar in Toronto tonight.
