Hope springs eternal

The Hot Springs are definitely hot, and quite springy too boot: Much bouncing around on stage by this Montreal foursome led by Giselle Weber; accompanied by Remy Nadeau-Aubin on guitar, Karine Lauzon on drums and Fred Sauve on bass she put on a show of desperation rhythm rock. They sounded a bit like a new wave version of The Heartless Bastards.

Giselle dispenses with her switch-laden Hagstrom to concentrate on the microphone and rant at people at the bar.



Karine on drums ... this wasn't a good night for drummer photographs.



Remy, looking much less lively than in actuality.



Bassist Fred - good for leaning against. He's a very big bassist.



Hot rock action!



And all together.



They have a nice little EP dubbed Rock Partouze out; it's good, but of course can't convey the crazy energy of their live show.
