Crimes against photography

With Ottawa Explosion, done, I headed off to Pressed for some heavy sounds. Ryan of Coliseum has a new band, called Fotocrime, and since previous shows by his other outfit were such killers I had to go and see what he's been up to lately. Ultra Love had already begun their set when I walked in. Here's Pascale on guitar!

Fotocrime played a fantastic set - a real treat for fans of groups like Killing Joke, Tau Cross and Sisters of Mercy. They also had an interesting DIY lighting setup and tons of smoke. It did make photography a little tricky. For example, here's a picture of Ryan.

Okay, now a somewhat better picture.
