intro
Despite playing with a reduced membership, garage rock act the Singles still manage to play an enthralling set at the Ottawa Dominion
The Glads served up the first helping of garage rock with some howling, raunchy rock .The title of a new song debuted at the show was 'Where Did My Wolfman Go?' The Singles started off at a slight disadvantage, since lead guitarist Will Yates was busy furthering his education. Singer and rhythm guitarist Vince Frederick, in addition to having to shoulder the extra guitarwork himself, also sounded a little ragged at times. It’s a tribute to the band’s frequent gigging that neither of those setbacks stopped them from delivering a swift, punchy set of modbeat. Drummer Dave Knepp kept the pace up with his rapid-fire fills, and the entire band displayed a more vigorous stage presence than their last Ottawa outing (opening for fellow Rainbow Quartz artists Outrageous Cherry along with the Three-Four-Tens). The band was obviously enjoying themselves as they whipped through their album and a handful of new tracks intended for an upcoming album, with a whole lot of shaking from Frederick and bassistDave Lawson. They returned for a four-song encore and ended the show with a rocked-up version of their song 'I’m Coming Home To You.'
