The musical kind

Another Thursday, another night at the House of Targ. This time to celebrate a 10th anniversary - not of National Capital Rock - but Dick Altavista's similar vintage radio show on CKCU, Both Kinds of Music. Various Liquor Pig Fest associates helped with the commemorating: Lone Pig and The Rhythm Sucklers and Vapourizer offshoot G. Rogers & The Capital Dominion Radiators. Also on hand, Chris Page and Co.

First up Lone Pig & The Rhythm Sucklers, that being Tim from The Stumblers, along with Jimmy, Dick and Jeb Bond of Evil Farm Children.

On to G. Rogers & The Capital Dominion Radiators. There's no one named G. Rogers in the band, but there are three-quarters of Vapourizer, plus guitarist Mike Delion. Here's Jimmy, modelling the Both Kinds of Music T-shirt.
