Get naked

The Tragically Hip have plenty of fans. The Odds have a few admirers as well. I thought that would add up to a great big crowd for Strippers Union, the side project featuring Hipster Robert Baker and Oddball Craig Northey, but even with the hours ticking down toward Rush hour on the mainstage it seemed like there was only a couple thou in front of the Claridge Homes Stage. How odd, perhaps even tragic. Anyway, these guys and their able co-conspirators played a pretty rocking set of rootsy pop music.

From left to right we've got Paul Langlois on guitar, red-shirted Northey, bearded baker, bassist Doug Elliott and at rear, drummer Pat Steward.



Craig sings!



Shadowy Paul.



Murray Atkinson is new on the keys.



Guitar action!



Stare into the eyes .... of Pat!



Doug sings!



And one final pic of Paul and his rockstar guitar.



Can't seem to find any trace of current activity.
