Death in a small space

We return you now to mid-June, and Ottawa Explosion-related activity at Yogi's Meatlocker. Yogi hosted the Saturday matinee show at his rehearsal space as he did for the third Gaga Weekend in 2010, but this time around he had some heavy rockers show up the day before for some early volume dealing. The various bands were selected by lottery for order of play, and the first name out of the hat (or whatever) was Pretty Little Death Machine. So here are some more shots from a small sweaty room.

Guitarmen Tyler Black (freshly shorn since I saw the band play the Avant-Garde Bar about a week earlier) and Matt "Tricky" Lamothe.



Bassist Matt Lepoidevin denies any rumours he uses only two of the six strings.



More Trickery!



Ike McFaul hits!



The fisheye was basically made for shoots at Yogi's.



Faceoff action!



Singalong action!



Ty sings!



More Matt!



And this is what they look like without flash ....



Their next step is some album creation.

• Show reminder: I shouldn't be telling you this, But Dirty Little Secret will be at the Rainbow; The Elmdale hosts Vox Populi with and Drew Corbin; Pirate folk band Double Entente arrrr, me hearties, at the Avant-Garde Bar.
