First up were Perth quartet Fools Like You, a tough sounding bunch with a throaty vocalist in Tolsen Nicholson. They did covers of We Don't Need No Education and Suzie Q.
The Misclits did a bunch of Misfits covers ... you may recall bassist Morgan from The Felines show; Felines drummer Allie was also on board, with keyboardist Barb, singer Sara and guitarist Erin rounding out the skull-desiring colection of "one part evil, one part estrogen, three parts kicking ass."
There was a raffle. (I didn't win anything. Boo! Hiss!)
The Gemini Sideshow - a.k.a. Ilona and Daisy Szabo - were spinning tunes between the sets.
The Suppositories played next and once again sounded great. Their next gig is at The Bytown Tavern for their actual honest-to-goodness record release show Nov. 13 with Savage Crimes.
Finally The Nymphets knocked out a dozen tunes of their zippy lo-fi punkrock, including a cover (as before) of Borstal Breakout. Regulation Nymphets with regulation Nymphets Jared and Johanna joined by Nathan (subbing for Ben) on bass. It seemed a lot peppier than the last time I saw them at Babylon, a staggering two years ago.
That was swell. Don't forget to turn your clocks back this morning if you haven't already ...
- Show reminder: I was hoping to see Spiral Beach at Zaphod's tonight, but apparently that show is postponed. Rachelle Van Zanten slides in to The Rainbow.
