It's feature-mania on The Nightwatch House of Features! More Rawk and less Prog/jazz/experimentality (except for The Silence feature)... for this show, anyway. Next Nightwatch will be 'for-heads-only', promise! :)
| Starting out with 2 new albums from 2 'new' bands (all the members of both bands are veterans of local R'n'R, make no mistake...) that both have some of their roots in a long-gone-and-lamented O-town band, The Evil Farm Children. LSM just played a great show at Irene's (dunno when their next show is...), but you can catch the Mere Humans on July 15th at 220 Elgin St.(LIVE! on Elgin), with The Ven Dreddies & Mississippi Grover. |

| More local rock 'n' roll feature-age, and 'part 2' of a full-album feature started last Nightwatch. All the tracks 'run together', qualifying as a 'Concept' LP, and thus should be played together. This is 'Side 2'... |

| Feature #3 (or #4, in case you think set #1 should be considered 2 features) is the debut LP from Japanese psychedelic-rock band The Silence - but, like both previous features, the members are by no means newbies, most notably containing members from Japanese psych-sters Ghost! |

| ...we finish the Nightwatch with a BIG feature - Quebec Hard-rock classics Offenbach and their 1974 live LP 'Tabarnac' in it's entirety. The recording quality is minimal (but I think that gives it a better feel anyway), and the vocals seem over-recorded and over-the-top... but this is Offenbach, so of course they are! |

Offenbach were hugely popular in Quebec in the 1970's and continued till about 1985 and Gerry Boulet would go on a successful solo before sadly passing in the early 1990's
