Go with the flow

Friday night I headed over to the House of Targ for some heavy, and mostly instrumental, music. Toronto's Electric Magma have just released a new, pinball-themed album Silver Ball, so Targ was certainly the right spot for the show. Ottawa's own instrumental overlords, Monobrow, were also on the bill, and a new trio of familiar faces, Rex Heck, kicked things off. About a month ago I caught MBG (a.k.a. Martindale, Barber and Granger) on the Targ stage. Rex Heck still has the MB, but it's Brad Martel of Amalgamation and Groovegasm on the kit. Here's Dave!

Monobrow played a killer set. They've been at the recording studio and plan to have their latest single up on Bandcamp soon-ish.
