With another ragin' contagion rolling around in my sinuses, it was decided that the better part of valor was to submt a pre-recorded show for tonight's Nightwatch... but that's not to say that it's 'phoned in'! The centerpiece of this Nightwatch is a set of music from Ottawa's own (defunct) Nero... though they weren't defunct last night, as they re-united for the first time since 2012 (their last re-union) at Irene's Pub!
The first set is a 'rock' set, starting out in Cleveland in '76 with the obscure-but-brilliant 'Numbers Band' and move towards the 'jam-rock' to hit the Nero set! |
About Leaving Day 15-60-75 (TheNumbersBand) - Jimmy Bell's Still In Town - 1976 |

Nero 'officially' gave up the ghost in '04, and, aside from a 2012 reunion show, they did a gargantuan 2-set performance at Irene's Pub last night. Fueled with enthusiasm from this spectacle, I present 2 songs from each of the studio CDs and 1 from the live 'Soon' CD. |
