Ottawa Explosion: Saturday, Part II

My Saturday night had a bit of a late start - in fact, the only set outside I caught was The Smugglers' headlining shindig. Anyway, here's a shadowy Grant leaping out of the frame, as he is wont to do!

After being served, protected and entertained, it was time to head inside for some scuzzy punk with Cleveland's Vanilla Poppers.

Next up, Halifax's Booji Boys, who are fond of DEVO and power-pop. There was a lot of jumping about from this crew.

They were followed by more Calgary crudpunks Leather Jacuzzi. Singer Sarah is from Ottawa and has performed in local combos like The Misclits and early Zebrassieres.

And that was it for me - I had other business I had to attend to, which is why this post is like two months late.
