Eyes and offenders

Last week I wandered over to Black Squirrel Books for some post-punkery and what-nottery. On the bill were locals Young Offenders and Montreal's Five Eyes. Young Offenders - or, at least, three-quarters of the bands, since guitarist Jacob couldn't make it - took the floor first with some tangled sounds. Here's singer-guitarist Kurt and bassist Simon.



More Simon!



Josh Duffenais hits!



More Kurt!



The whole lot!



There was also some enthusiastic dancing in the crowd.



Even more Simon!



Late-set trumpet action!



Five Eyes also played a very well-received set, they have a scrappy desperate sound, and feature Ottawa expat Joni from Caymans and Harsh Reality on drums. Here's guitarist Amy and Joni!



And here's guitarist and singer Graham!



More Joni!



Brow-furrowing action!



Extra Amy!



Translucent action!



Illuminated action!



And even more Amy!



A fine evening's entertainment.
