What Wires?

Can I fit one last unexpected December show in? Why yes, I can! Now this Whites Wires sort-of-farewell show wasn't the last show I saw in December, what with New Year's Eve and all, but it was one I didn't expect to get to in time. As it happened, I missed openers Peach Kelli Pop and The Visitors, but did get to see The White Wires rock the town.

Allie is bewhiskered; I think she may have been shooting her first Peach Kelli Pop video earlier in the day.



That doesn't explain Ian's fakestache though - guess we'll have to wait for the video to find out.



Ian sings!



Luke croons!



Ian dances about.



The whole lot.



Allie keeps the beat.



Singalong action!



Ian prepares to strum.



Bendy action!



Ian goes down!



Ian goes up!



Leaping action!



Then everyone ran on stage.



There was still time for one last song.



And of course some last-minute drinking.



Sometimes one must stoop to sing.



I corralled them into a post-show pose.



No word on any shows in town, but they will be playing in Montreal, March 5, Sorel March 6, London March 12 and Toronto March 13 while they tour with the Sonic Avenues - then they're heading south for gigs in New York. Peach Kelli Pop also has a video release show April 3.

• Show reminder: Lo-fi wunderkind Kurt Vile and Holy Cobras rock Babylon.
