The dead shall rise

Up next night at Bruised Tongue's night of noise, Fucked Corpse - home to the Tongue's executive. Fucked Corpse has been through a few permutations since I saw them first. Members have come and gone, their ranks have swollen and shrunk and travelled to the far corners of the world (or at least Montreal). While they were still playing here and there, a whole two years passed between this show and the last time I saw them at Babylon in July 2007. They were a quintet for this particular gig.

As for future plans, the Corpse appears to be lying low.

• Show reminder: First off, The Balconies and Modernboys Moderngirls play a rare Wednesday show at Irene's - you may want to go early if you want to get in, the way the buzz is going for both bands. Then again, it is a Wednesday in Ottawa ... Epyllion, Andrew Allen and Hot Shot Casino perform at Zaphod's; Lacuna Coil, Hail The Villain and Doll rock Mavericks. Solomon Dean and Decade Of Sleep play The Rainbow.
