And good riddance

I wrapped up my 2016 show-going at House of Targ with the always excellent Metalian headline a bill with Flying Fortress and Droid, who started things off with some thrashy sounds. Droid have been quiet on the shows front as they prep their debut long-player. That's done, so I expect a return visit in the not-too distant future. Here's bassist Michael!



Sebastian hits!



Jacob sings!



Robotic action!



Flying V action!



And so on!



The shouty bit!



And finally a bit more Michael!



Flying Fortress are frequent visitors to Ottawa and Targ, so here's Brandon!



Steelrider hits!



And so on!



Bass action!



Closeup action!



Greenish action!



Flying action!



Smokey action!



Fortified action!



Metalian played two sets, the first of their own stuff, then one of covers (which started too late for me to stick around for). They're one of the best live metal acts around, and as usual, they sounded great. Here's Ian!



Percussive action with Tony!



Guitar action with Steve!



Extra Ian!



Close-up action!



Bonus Tony!



Bass action!



And so on!



Metallic action!



A good way to end the year a day early.
