Punk and popular

Yet another long-overdue posting, once again from The House of Targ. School Damage returned to Ottawa (last time I saw them was at Cafe Luneta), and once again played with Neck on the bill. Also on hand were the oft-seen Bonnie Doon and Slim & Popular. Here's some serious bass-playing from Larry.



Last time I saw S&P was late last year at a Centretown Recording Alliance shindig at Gabba Hey.



Dave hits!



Extra Larry! His hot sauce company also uses the House of Targ facilities to manufacture.

And so on!



Singalong action!

Bonnie Doon were up next. Their garb of choice: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.

School damage rounded off the night with some punk rock rama-lama. Here's guitarist Brad and drummer Curtis.

Singalong action!




A good, full night's out.
