Woodland creatures

Bluesfest's Sunday lineup wasn't quite as entrancing as Saturday's, so I didn't get down to LeBreton Flats until well after 5 p.m. It turns out that the first band I really wanted to see was a bit late as well. When I got to the Hard Rock Stage Timber Timbre was doing a bit of last-minute sound-checking.

Mainman Taylor Kirk checks things out.



That done, the band briefly departed the stage, then returned. Taylor was sporting a mosquito net — and I'm sure plenty of performers on the stage wished they had done the same.



Olivier Fairfield of J'envoie was also on hand.



Forest City Lover Mika Posen chips in some violin.



Simon Trottier rounds out the combo on lap steel.



Mika prepares to twist.



Taylor goes to the net.



Simon steels away.



More Olivier and Mika.



The shouty bit!



And the crowd goes wild!



They're currently touring Europe.

• Show reminder: Take Me To The Pilot, Monday I Retire, Arms of the Girl, Authors, The Bypass, and Alexy & The Guys in The Back perform at Mavericks; sort-of-music-related, Rheostatics man Dave Bidini will be giving a chat (about hockey, not music) at Raw Sugar. Scatterheart plays the Rainbow.
