On the beaten track

It's holiday time, and that means a slew of Christmas, New Year's and other seasonally themed shows going on - most of which I contrived to miss, but I did return to Targ for the first night of Seasons Beatings, featuring sets from a reunited Trapt, World War 4 and Uncooperatives - who were just starting things up as I headed down the stairs. Here's some guitar action with Greg!

Police N' Thieves were up next with some 1970s punk action - they cover The Clash, and they do it well. The combo features members of Jimmy George, Manpower and other well-known local combos. Here's Omar on guitar and Scott on bass!

The last time I saw The Trapt was 10 years ago at Babylon, alongside Flag of Truce, Honest Injun and Fluid Waffle. Unfortunately,like other photos of that era they can't be seen because I was using Photobucket as my image hoster and haven't been able to relocate them yet. Oh well, onto Remi's introduction, for which heonce again donned the white suit.
