Not The Wind, Not The Flag - In This Strange Location [final section]

You can read my general notes on the festival here. It's a treat to hear one of T.O.'s greatest bands in any setting, so I was looking forward for them to have a chance to blast away in the open space of Yonge-Dundas Square. Mildly discomfited by the towers of advertising around them, Colin Fisher and Brandon Valdivia set their dial to "roar" — though there were also, as in the first selection here, some pleasingly-textured interlude grooves.

[Vermillion, the band's first album on vinyl, is coming out on Pleasence Records. They'll be celebrating with a rather kick-ass release show at the Tranzac on October 1st, with c_RL and Nifty playing as well.]
