Lengths and depths

Off to Mavericks after a fairly lengthy (for me, anyway) break from shows. Must have been all of two weeks! Anyway, what was on offer were local lights David Little G and The Gallop and Yes Please & Thank You, joined by travellin' Torontonians Topanga and Wildlife.

First off, the highly enjoyable sounds of David Little G and The Gallop. I guess David Gervais was a member of the Gallop with a solo sideline, and he's since recruited his bandmates to back him live along with Brights chap PJ Catsiyannis. Here's David on guitar.

On to the impolite sounds of Yes Please & Thank You. They were a pretty raucous trio.

Lucas Mackenzie (of New Teeth) hits!

Toronto's Topanga were livelier still, with lots of running around to abet they're breakneck, rambunctious indie rock sound. A bit like Archers of Loaf in a hurry.

Mop-rocking action!

Finally Wildlife rocked the stage. The crowd had dwindled a bit, but was still very enthusiastic. Drummer Dwayne Christie began by playing the wall, the floor and the light fixtures.
