Ottawa Explosion: Day 2, Part I

Day 2 at the Ottawa Explosion added the Dominion Tavern to the list of venues, so showgoers could bounce back between the Dom and The 27 Club. Scattered Clouds kicked things off. Last time I saw them was also at Ottawa Explosion, back in 2016 at Club SAW. They're playing a few shows out west, then coming back to Ottawa for a Bluesfest gig. Here's Philippe!

Jeff from Pony Girl was rounding out the trio this time.

The bands at The Dominion ran to a more punk sound, starting with Omerta. Here's Sierra!

I forget who was supposed to play at the Dom next (I believe it was Strange Attractor), but Faze, who were headlining, couldn't make it, so Ottawa's The Shame were called in as a replacement. Here's Mikey!



Kieran (also Doxx, Creep Wave) hits!



Bass action with Derek!



More Mikey!



Extra Kieran!

There was plenty more that night, but that's for another post ....
