The Diodes @ Sound of Music Fest Burlindton

The Diodes @ Sound of Music Fest Burlindton, originally uploaded by Eddie Smith.

On Saturday after little sleep (see the Dolls post) I raced out of town to catch 2 sets at sound of music fest. Opening were Toronto's own first Gen punks (responsible for running the Crash and Burn, the short lived first punk club in toronto). The Diodes got a great response from the crowd a large number of whom remembered their "hits" like I'm tired of waking up tires, Red rubber ball etc. Great show and likely the last time we'll see them for some time with Paul Robinson (pictured) and John Catto both living in London
