Rough draft

Things are getting chilly outside, but it was all muggy inside Mugshots as Bruised Tongue and Kichesippi took over the hostel bar in order to sell tapes and beer. There were also three bands in town: Ottawa's own Yips, Montrealers Ultrathin and Toronto squallers Soupcans.

The Yips brought their smoke machine. I was stuck up against the wall by one of the speakers so my photos turned out kinda samey ...

The only shot of Kurt - the band was squeezed in pretty tight.

More noise with Ultrathin and Soupcans after the jump ...
Like The Yips, last time I saw Ultrathin was at Mugshots, though we've seen  bassist Mark in the interim slinging some bass for The Holy Cobras.

On to The Soupcans, who had about 15 minutes to play their set as closing time approached.

And that was their 15 minutes all done. Nothing more to do but grab a copy of the new Heavy Chains seven-inch and go home.
