Seasonal fare

Christmas is nearly upon us, and that means some folks that have split for warmer climes - such as White Wires drummer Allie Hanlon - are back in town. That means The Wires can hop on stage for a crowded Monday show at Babylon with Mother's Children.

Ken sings!



Davey is well-lit!



Tim hits!



Michael frets!



Singalong action!



Extra Michael!



The whole lot!



Davey sings!



Singalong action!



Back-to-back action!



The end!



After the jump, the return of the Wires!

Or maybe that should be the return of Allie, who's living in California now. She was back in town just a little while ago with Peach Kelli pop, though.



Ian sings!



Extra Allie! Unfortunately Babylon's new light set-up leads to a lot fo washed-out drummer snaps.



Singalong action with Luke!



Ian in lights!



Rhythm section action!



Bendy action!



Crowd-surfing action!



More Allie!



Emmanuel warns the crowd that the unrehearsed encore may be a little ropey. "Get blind drunk now so you don't remember any of it."



How does this one go again?



Ian will be performing with his new band, Voicemail, at the Houe of Targ this Friday (along with Nervous System - another bunch of returnees! - and First Base).
