I was at Pressed Friday night for some post-punk action, with high-volume action from Dark Plains, WLMRT and Deathsticks. The latter two bands have a new split EP out (along with Nushu and Nughtbummerz) and were on a mini-tour. Dark Plains kicked things off with an ear-drum crushing set.
Guitar action with Chuck!
Andy hits!
Matt jumps about!
More Chuck!
More Andy!
Matt songs!

Plain action!
WLMRT put on a raucous set. I caught them at Ottawa Explosion last year; they were even more energetic this time around. Here's some bass action with Kat!
Shelby sings!
Guitar action with Adam!
Alex hits!
Ryan works the keys!
Extra Shelby!
Singalong action!
Fisheyed action!
It's only been a few months since I saw Deathsticks at Black Squirrel Books. No lightbulb this time around, just some deadly punk sludge. Here's Matt!
Laura hits!
Singalong action!
Extra Laura!
Matt jumps about!
Fisheye action!
The view from the other side!
A most entertaining evening.

Fantastic beasts
My holiday shows hiatus ended with a visit to House of Targ for some hot pop action, provided by Toronto's Pony and Lush Buffalo, alongside fab locals Sparklesaurus. Lush Buffalo were on first, and played a super set of grunge-pop. Here's frontman Dylan!
