Bombino is called the African Jimi Hendrix by some critics, but to me he's more like Santana. Really smoking guitarist.

Saturday, September 15

King James Stage - Main Stage

1:00 Hamilton Philharmonic Orchestra with special guest C.R. Avery

Holey moley. That might just be astounding.

If I didn't have a gig that might have been enough to get me down from Ottawa.

[DevO]

BA Johnston is playing late night at This Ain't Hollywood too.

[dave-O]

Wow, this is a great looking little festival. The Friday night Wax > Young Rival > Zeus would be fun. And throw in a Change of Heart reunion just for kicks.

[fluffhead77]

Sianspheric!

Love me some unyon Sad to be missing this again this year...

[DevO]

AND there's a Ti Cats game at 3pm on Saturday as well. The perfect storm!

[hamilton]

Well. Change Of Heart kicked some pretty good ass last night.

[DevO]

They also did a surprise set post-BA Johnston at This Ain't Hollywood. And holy shit!!! The slayed it. I had never heard them before, was not expecting that. Ian Blurton was awesome, and bonus points for getting blood all over his guitar, pick ups and fingers!

Supercrawl on the whole was amazing I thought. A night for the Hamilton history books!! The Hammer just keeps getting better and better.

[edger]

My sister got her car smashed in with a baseball bat. Hope the rest of you had a better time. I miss the Hammer!!
