A week ago I headed downtown for two stories of heavy music at Cafe DeKcuf and Mavericks. Brooklyn crushers Tombs were in town for a show at the upstairs venue, and with Flying Fortress headlining downstairs, why not go to both? Things began at Cafe DeKcuf with Gatineau blackened doomsters Norilsk. Here's some grimacing guitar action!
A shouty bit with Nicolas!
Guitar action with Thomas!
Hairy action!
More Nicolas!
He's under there somewhere.
More guitar!
Nick hits!
And so on!
Even more Nicolas!
Downstairs I went to catch some Mountain Dust (last seen at Targ on a bill with Biblical). They still have a heavy 1970s vibe going on. Here's Patrick working the steel.
Blair hits!
Brendan sings!
Bass action with Hal!
Bonus Blair!
More Hal!

Longhouse played next, upstairs. Here's some Flying V action with Marc!
And even more guitar with Loviatar's Shane!
Josh sings, Mike hits!
Gripping action!
More Marc!
Extra Shane!
More Marc and Josh!
The whole lot!
More Mike and Shane!
Back downstairs for some Black Thunder. The band comes from Regina, Sakatchewan and play a stomping blend of heavy psych and prog. Here's guitarist Tony!
Bass action with Dustin!
Tony sings!
Neil hits!
More Dustin!
Thundering action!
Even more Dustin!
More guitar with Tony!
Barishi turned up the volume upstairs. The Jamaica, Vermont, trio is on tour with Tombs. Here's guitarist Graham!
Bass action with Jonathan!

Extra Jonathan!
The whole lot!

Flying Fortress finished off the Mavericks side of the night with a heavy set. Here's Brandon!

More Brandon!
Percussive action!
The whole lot!
Even more Brandon!
A shouty bit!
Headbanging action!
Even more Steel Rider!
And so on!
Finally, Tombs played a killer set. They brought the smoke and a couple of blue lights for illumination, so things weren't so great for photography, but it sure sounded good. Here's frontman Mike!
Bass action with Ben!
And so on!
Rhythm section action with Ben and a barely visible Charlie!
Singalong action!
More guitar!
A loud time was had by all.
