Metal thoughts

As both a giant nerd and a heavy metal fan, it's probably no surprise that I'm a longtime fan of The Lord Weird Slough Feg. I was glad to hear they had a new album out, and even happier to hear they were planning a summer tour that included a stop in Ottawa.  Also on the bill, likker New York trio Sanhedrin, Montrealers Cauchemar and locals Rockin' Engine, who kicked things off witha hard-rocking set. Here's guitarist Steve and drummer Joel!
