Right in the guts

The night after catching The Real McKenzies, Valveenus and four-stroke downstairs at Mavericks, I was upstairs at Cafe DeKcuf seeing an even louder collection of bands, as Alaskan, KEN Mode, Black Faxes and Spilt Guts augured out everyone's ears. Spilt Guts were first up, with a sound that was heavily in the hardcore corner. Phil - lead guitar, Evan - Bass, Elgar - Drums,

Singer Thomas can also be seen in The Mudplots.



Phil on guitar.



Evan plays the bass, while a shadowy Elgar mans the traps.



The whole spilt lot!



The shouty bit!



Evan sings!



Phil goes green.



Elgar hits!



Gutsy action!



More Phil!



More shouting!



More Evan!



And so on!



I think Elgar may be enjoying himself too much.



The end!



I don't know what they're up to next, but Rouffa Therrien shot some video of the show.
