Dråpe played first; they're in the country to perform at the M For Montreal festival this Friday. From left to right we have Ketil Myhre, a mostly obscured Even Hafnor, Hanne Solem, Lars Boquist and Eirik Kirkmyre.
More Ketil!
Extra Hanne!
I had to scoot around to the entryway to snap Eirik.
Hanne shakes it.
More guitar!
More Lars!
That was a pleasant surprise. More of the evening's acts after the jump ...
Starting with These Animals. "I was feeling pretty exotic until I found out there was a Norwegian band on the bill. " They're on a mini-tour with Kurvi Tasch and will be in Montreal tonight for a show at Le Divan Orange. Like Dråpe they've got a bit of a dreampop thing going on. Here's Brian Crimms multitasking.
Drummer Will Whatley hits!
Singalong action with Greg Baldwin and Jon Rick!
Bonus Brian.
Jon shakes it!
Extra Greg!
The whole lot!
Rhythm section action!
Feedback action!
On to Montreal's Kurvi Tasch, who have a wiry sound. Here's Alex and Mike. You can check out Bandcamp for their music.
Alex sings!
Rhythm section action with drummer Oli.
And a somewhat better shot of Oli.
The whole lot!
Gripping action!
And some bendy action!
Ottawa's own Miss Polygamy rounded things off; like everyone else they played a short set (that's what happens when you fit four bands into 2 and a half hours). You can also download their album and some singles at their website for free. Here's lead guitarist Jordan Hall and singer Sean Tansey.
And some rhythm section action with bassist Nick Hertzberg and drummer Arturo Portocarrero.
There was also some vocal and glockenspiel from Julia Allen, one of their extensive collective.
More Sean!
Al Kinney handles saxophone and keyboards.
More Jordan!
Clapping action!
Extra Arturo!
Jordan sings!
The end!
Like These Animals, they're off to Montreal tonight.
