Hot and cold

In early August I headed over to the House of Targ for some perogies and some Petra Glynt. She was heading up a well-stacked bill with Toronto's Ice Cream and local outfit Orchidae. Unfortunately, I missed almost all of Orchidae's opening set, so here's Ice Cream, starting with some keyboard action with Carlyn!

Petra Glynt has worked up a bunch of new material and even premiered a new, almost completely written song for an encore.

She's changed her setup from a floor tom to a machine, so there's a bit more running around now!

Waving the flag

Petra Glynt is one of those performers I try to catch whenever she's in town; when she was slated to appear on a bill with Bonnie Doon and Sparklesaurus it was plain that Targ was the place for me to be for her late November show. Here's Colleen from Sparklesaurus to start things off!

Petra Glynt rounded things up with a super set. She released a new album, My Flag Is A Burning Rag Of Love in September, so she had a bunch of new stuff to entertain the crowd.

Her kit has expanded a bit since I first caught her at the Dominion many years ago.

Strange, solo and tough

For my second night of Megaphono, I went to House of Targ to see some Petra Glynt - I'm a big fan - and Tough Age. Also on the bill, Man Made Hill, who turns out to be a combination of pro-wrestling and a synth-funk B.A. Johnson. Here he is starting stuff off in his homemade mask, fur hat and purple-fringe jacket.

Tough Age wrapped things up - they played as a trio, just Jarrett, Ryan and Penny. They donated their merch proceedings from the show to Black Lives Matter, and Bandcamp sales went to Trans Lifeline and the National Centre for Transgender Equality. Here's some guitar action with Jarrett, who I recently saw with Protruders at Bar Robo!
