Well, not that I have a bit of free time and have sort-of-recovered from the Ottawa Explosion (not really), here's a few photos of what went down on Friday, starting, once again, with The Creeps at Club SAW.
That Skottie!

Next up at the plate, Vancouver's Isotopes, who like their baseball and predictably sang
Take Me Out To The Ballgame, then played it in speedy pop-punk style.

Then it was time for Iron Chic to play their second show off the festival, with the usual singalong help from the crowd.

They were followed by Sam Coffey & The Iron Lungs, who played some ramshackle roots rock in what might be called The Pretty Bad Records style.

Things were getting a little darker as The Johnnies took over. Drummer Sarah played with a cast on her left foot - apparently she broke it dancing at a show.

The Shakey Aches played a really scorching set. They also have a new bassist.

Rome Romeo finished the night off. The band definitely has that 1980s rock vibe, though there's a bit less synthesizer and a lot more guitar.

Then o it was off to Mavericks and Cafe DeKcuf ...
