Pregnant pause

You know it's a slow week in Ottawa when someone isn't forming a band. The latest lot on the block (probably not by now) are Pregnancy Scares, a foursome formed by Emmanuel Sayer of Last Communion, The Steve Adamyk Band and The Sedatives, Craig Proulx from the now-dead Fucked Corpse and Bruised Tongue, noted scene photographer David Forcier and Davey Quesnelle of Mother's Children, Peach Kelli Pop, Klovenhoofs, Male Nurse and so on and so forth. They play fast'n'crazy hardcore stuff.

Craig puts the Nine rail and a few handy audience members to use.



Shaking and shivering from Craig and Davey.



Emmanuel handles the low end as Davey bends.



David hits!



Everyone jumps out of the shot.



Shouty Craig!



Pregnant action!



More David!



The shouty end!



And of course I saw them again just a few days later at The Gaga Weekend.
