Loud, quiet, loud

There was more metal to be had at House of Targ Saturday, this time thanks to cross-country travellers and vowel aficionados Anciients, who have hit the road with B.C. buds Dead Quiet. Two local acts were also on the bill; unfortunately I arrived too late to catch the set by Clavius, so the night started off with Longhouse. Here's Josh!

And so on!



On to Dead Quiet, who played a killer set - as you'd expect from an outfit featuring veterans of 3 Inches of Blood and Barn Burner. Here's bassist Mike!



Hair-shaking action with Brock (who also serves in Anciients).
