The torrid zone

Last week I took one of my frequent trips to House of Targ for a bit of garage rock action. Miesha and The Spanks are on tour again, and they brought Cambridge's HotKid to Targ for a show opened up by locals Average Times. Here's Seiji, singing a bit!

 

Guitar action with Todd!



Singalong action with Curtis!



More Todd!



Extra Seiji!

Curtis closeup!



More Steph!



Average action!



More singalong action!



And finally a bit more Steph!



HotKid brought their own lighting setup, which showed off their flashy drummer Rob but meant  most of the other photos of band members were on the grainy side. Here's a well-lit Rob!



Shiloh sings!



More Rob!



Bass action with Peter!



More Shiloh!



Roof-raising action!



Stick-twirling action!



The whole lot!



Faceoff action!



Peter sings!



Last time I saw Miesha and The Spanks was at the Dominion back in 2013. She has a new (to me) drummer, but not much else has changed with her no-frills garage rock crunch.



More Miesha!



Sean is mighty enthusiastic!



The whole lot!



Miesha sings!



Extra Sean!



Miesha runs about!

Singalong action!



A fun night! (Also, flash update: Miesha and Sean will be back in Ottawa for a show at Pressed May 27.)
