Hollow hills

Saturday night I headed off to Gabba Hey to check out a couple of bands I've seen and enjoyed, and a crew from Hamilton new to my ears. Unfortunately I had to do some stuff on Sunday so this post, much like the show itself, features a lot of delay ...

Scattered Clouds were the first band up and were stellar as usual. Here's some fashion coordination with Pierre-Luc and Jamie.



Close-up action with Phillipe!



Extra Jamie!



Bonus Pierre-Luc!



Grippping action!



Grimacing action!



Keyboard action!



Hamilton's WTCHS have been making a name for themselves with some postpunky hardcore sounds and yes, they like the reverb too! Now for some soundchecking ...



Percussive action!



Non-verbal action!



And so on!



More hitting!



WTCHy action!



Gripping action!



Strange Attractor wrapped things up with a slightly more straight-ahead sound, taken straight from the pages of first-wave punk rock.

Horn-rimmed action!



Mitch hits!



Jeff sings!



Jumping about!



Extra Eric!



Fist-pumping action!



The huge crowd was well-entertained.
