Muggy

It was a hot and sweaty night yesterday at Mugshots as Toronto's Teenanger joined The Yips and Average Times on Mugshots' stage. Did I stay stage? I meant "the 10-foot by 10-foot space by the exit to the bathrooms." It's a bit of a tight fight for anything but a duo, but since the rest of the place was packed with music fans, you do what you can.

Average times were first on deck with their blurty punk rock'n'roll.

The Yips broke out the facepaint and roses for the release of their new tape on Bruised Tongue.

Things got pushy fast and I retreated to the side of the room; the smoke machine made photography pointless anyway.

The crowd was even crazier for Teenanger, but I had shifted over to one of the huge pillars that divide Mugshots' space, so there was really no way to be shoved over.

On the other hand, good thing I brought my fisheye lens.

The windows were completely fogged over by the time they were done.
