Earth Hour shut off the lights at the last Siesta show. Doesn’t matter, a thousand flashes lit Foxmoulder. There’ll be lossless reproduction of the whole night once the photos are compiled, starting with Fox explaining themselves. Gender issues and video games don’t need explanation if you’re clear enough, but the moment reminds them to breathe.

We walked down to Front St, we passed 30-somethings en route to clubbing. Big deal, plenty of arrested development at Siesta too. The LCBO is still open. The enterprising would’ve raked it in, pawned off drinks to all ages. Instead, we got a six pack and missed Violent Future.

Kremlin stretched their set, and why won’t he turn up the guitar? But they’re still in the good column. Purity Control abandoned, I hope for only the night, too much of their noise selves. The internet is stuffed with their spray-painted Beg for Absolution, but only with the hasty addition of the initially forgotten I. The paparazzi was too kind, they also omitted the fume-fueled make outs.

School Jerks boiled the room, two depths of hair, sloppy, and screaming at vegans, managing to keep the mic close enough to not crash. It held together until the fire started. No handle on what was happening, but it got extinguished, and offered a clean opportunity to leave. Less a sweater, but it was liberated anyways.

We got out of the street car and walked up to the Silver Dollar. Hunx & His Punx were already going. Wall-sized paintings of cosmetics cozied up the set of perfect pop to make your coworkers uncomfortable. It was a soothing, carefree unwind from the intensity of Siesta’s wake, then early Sunday pizza.

Urban Blight, School Jerks, Purity Control, Violent Future, Kremlin, Foxmoulder at the last Siesta Nouveaux show, and Hunx and his Punx at the Silver Dollar, March 31, 2012.

Brand new Toronto hardcore. S.H.I.T.’s first demo is eight minutes and thirty brutal seconds that won’t let me forget to see them again, as soon as possible (sorry, I’m working Saturday night). Note the delay on the vocals and compare / contrast with Kremlin. Microtrend?
