Roberta Bondar were up first, sounding even louder and heavier than before; they've recently released a new album, Caustic. They started things off with some feedback ...
Tyler hits!
Smokey action!
Lidija sings!
More Gary!
Alex strums!
More guitars!
Extra Lidija!
More Gary!
And so on!
Holy Cobras made the return trip to Ottawa to split up; Dan told me post-show he's working on a hardcore outfit with bassist Matt, but who knows how these things turn out?
That's the nicest thing Daniel's ever written on himself.
Kristal hits!
Rodney fets!
Dan works the crowd.
Rhythm section action!
More Daniel!
Extra Rodney!
Bonus Kristal!
The end! For real!
Last time I saw Father Murphy, the offbeat Italian outfit was opening for Xiu Xiu, and doing an excellent job of it, too. The crowd was similarly enraptured this time around by their Valerie And Her Week of Wonders-loving sound. Here's Freddie and Ciara (no drummer Vittorio this time around).
Freddie frets!
Ciara jingles.
Freddie sings!
Ciara sings!
Eye-contact action!
Shouty percussive action!
Freddie hits!
Iceage inspired lots of crazy moshing at their appearance in 2013, warming things up for that year's Ottawa Explosion with a Monday Babylon gig; there was even more of it this time around.
Percussive action with Dan Kjaer Nielsen!
Elias Ronnenfelt works the crowd, he seems to have dropped the guitar for plain old frontman status.
Johan Wieth works the frets.
The crowd goes wild!
Bass action with Jakob Pless!
Extra Elias!
A well-imploded evening,
