Smoke and roses

On to the Yips at Mugshots. That's a bit redundant: I don't think I've seen them play anywhere else. Each show has been a step up from the last, and the most recent one I caught, this November, was a real stunner. The crowd really went nuts for this gig back in March.

The whole smokey lot!



Jon hits!



More Yips!



Things got kind of smokey ...



Since then they've done some recording, and their new EP (on Bruised Tongue, natch) has received fulsome praise from the folks at Weird Canada.
