SBSW: Night One, Part One

Ottawa's newest min-festival, the Side By Side Weekend, has just come and gone, so I'm going to post some pictures before it's too far in the past (this means I'm skipping a couple of shows at Bar Robo and Pressed, and M'dou Moctar's super set at Queen's St. Fare; I'll get back to them). Things got kicking at House of Targ on the Thursday, starting with Stoby. Here's Maryse!
