And good riddance

I wrapped up my 2016 show-going at House of Targ with the always excellent Metalian headline a bill with Flying Fortress and Droid, who started things off with some thrashy sounds. Droid have been quiet on the shows front as they prep their debut long-player. That's done, so I expect a return visit in the not-too distant future. Here's bassist Michael!

Metalian played two sets, the first of their own stuff, then one of covers (which started too late for me to stick around for). They're one of the best live metal acts around, and as usual, they sounded great. Here's Ian!
