Ottawa Explosion: Day 4, Part IV

With Saturday heading to its end (or is that Sunday heading to its beginning?) I returned to Targ to catch a smoke-laden set from No Mistakes In Space. Here's Matt and Kyla!

All over the place

A week ago I popped over to Pressed to check out Galapagos, Outer Rooms and No Mistakes In Space; I'd only heard of No Mistakes In Space (and had planned to check out their record release show at Targ, but couldn't make it). First up were Galapagos with some pretty straight-ahead indie rock sounds. Here's a blurry Matt and Adam!

No Mistakes In Space just released an EP, which to my ears combines post-rock with 1990s Britpop a la Verve. Here's drummer Andrew!
