In their element

November was two-thirds done with when I headed over to Black Squirrel Books to catch an eclectic show put on by The Indie Scene and featuring Deaf Children, Puffs, Montreal's Fleece and Elementals. Deaf Children kicked things off; I don't know anything about them except two-thirds of the band is also in Puffs. Here's some vocal action!

Rhythm section action with Connor (also of Spell) and a bassist I know not.

Since they were performing in a book store, Fleece decided to open their set by reading some poetry.

Percussive action! The band had a much jazzier sound than the other acts on the bill.

When I saw The Elementals a couple of months ago at House of Targ they made a good impression; I thought they sounded even better this time around, and quite a bit more like Nirvana. Here's Rick, Cody and Jamie!
