Wednesday night out and a choice between Lana Del someone and Slumberland king Devon Williams. Easy decision. After taking down some pulled pork poutine goodness at the Lakeview headed over to the no frills Garrison for the show at a bargain price of $12 dollars. These days Slumberland Records (out of the US) seem to have found the golden path with bands such as Big Troubles, Girl Names, Spectrals, Veronica Falls, Terry Malts and the list goes on. The bill included local bands Grounders and Persian Rugs who both were entertaining. Turnout was quite sparse for this gig and by the time Devon Williams hit the stage at 11:00 most of the friends of the first two bands had left leaving about 25 people to watch Devon put on a short spirited set.
Here is what people had to say (or at least what IKDK said):
Grounders
