Anarchy for never

It's the Christmas season, so the next few posts are going to go with the theme: "Stuff I waited too long to post because I was doing other stuff." A couple of weeks ago BCASA played their last show. I've heard nothing but good things about their live show and figured I should go and check them out before they called it a day. Also on the bill, Montreal's Boids and Bytown funk-metal combo Criticull. As always, Criticull put on a high-energy show and as always, I still don't like my funk and my metal at the same time. Here's some hair-tossing action with saxophonist Mandy!



Jumping about from Cutter!



Guitar action with Reid!



More Mandy!



Funky action!



Percussive action with Owlscar!



Bass action with Jon!



Masked action!



More Cutter!



Singalong action!



Extra bass!



Extra drums!



Extra saxophone!



And so on!



Friendly action!



The Boids (or is that BOIDS?) were on next; they made me think of The Ramones with a hardcore twist. Mike G, Andy, Patrizio and DW form the quartet, but who is who I know not.



Guitar action!



Percussive action!



Vocal action!



More vocal action!



More guitar!



BOIDSian action!



More drumming!



Neck veined action!



And so on!



Extra veins!



The end!



The BCASA (a.k.a. The Bill Cosby ANarchy Society of America) was billing this show as their last Ottawa banger; I'm not sure if the members are off to college, or leaving town, or a little of both. I shot this show almost entirely from the sidelines, as The BCASA's fads are enthusiastic moshers. Maybe too enthusiastic, judging from the ambulance parked outside as I left. On with the show! Here's some rhythm section action with Wes and Tarzan!



Tarzan hits!



Guitar action with Nick!



Nick sings!

More Nick!



More bass action with Wes!

Anarchic action!



Lots of fun, apart from the bodily injury.
