Valley of the dolls

Montreal's Pale Lips have a new album out and are touring hither and yon to promote it (last I checked, they were in Belgium). Before their European jaunt they came to Ottawa to play a show at Black Squirrel Books along with U.S. labelmates Criminal Kids and Local quartet Holy Christopher. Here's Summer, Andy, Ben and Dave!

Criminal Kids have had some lead guitar issues of late, so they performed as a trio. Here's Ryan, Anthony and Chris!
