Right and wrong

Julie Doiron has put out a wide range of music: I've seen her play quiet, sing-songwriter stuff, and eardrum-crushing rock. With Julie and The Wrong Guys, things are definitely on the loud end of the spectrum. The gal and the guys did an Ontario mini-tour in mid-December, and stopped off at The 27 Club for a show with Mushy Gushy and Saint Clare. Here's Matt from Saint Clare, getting ready to rock and roll!

The last time I saw Julie and The Wrong Guys was at Cafe DeKcuf back in September 2012, where they turned up the volume and jumped around quite a bit. I think they were even louder this time around. Here's Eamon McGrath and Jaye from the Cancer Bats!

Destruction, substitution and Doiron

Wednesday night I headed over to Bar Robo for a fine lineup of bicoastal action: From way out west, Adrian Teacher and The Subs; from the east, Construction & Destruction and Sappy superstar Julie Doiron. Construction and Destruction were up first: Here's Coleen and David!

Adrian Teacher is always a funny guy to watch live, and he was definitely as bouncy at this gig as when I caught him at Raw Sugar last year.
