the edmontonian at SOS Fest

After the Old Ugly Showcase at Wunderbar (there was another one all day at the Old Strathcona Performing Arts Centre too) and a night of rock, I’m surprised the place is still standing. That’s all Edmonton music too.

We missed Plain Clothes because the online schedule told us 11pm, but we did get to see Skin and Touch It And You Will Say Ow.

Skin’s a two-piece that rocks and zips with a punk or garage feel.

Touch It And You Will Say Ow has the best band name of the SOS Fest. And you need to see these guys fly all over, mixing hilarious ideas (Don’t talk shit about Tom’s Creek) with good lyrics, and screaming guitars, smashing drums and wailing noise.
