While I missed the opening set from local rock band the Mormon Girls, I caught a big, loud set of experimental indie rock from bass and drums duo betterhalf who tried out some new songs and kept a solid rhythm, Oct. 17, at the Slice.
But I was very impressed with Winnipeg duo Vampires Like You.
They got their feet wet with a jammy instrumental and then caught the wave.
Guitarist/ vocalist David Dobbs and drummer/ vocalist Matthew Powers played a long set of experimental rock touching on indie rock, noise rock and straight ahead punk.
They had some decent vocals and kept the crowd on their feet for the show, clustered around the front of the stage.
Jon Vornbrock joined them on stage to shout lead vocals for one of their songs.
They played plenty of big riffs and rock solid drumming throughout their show.
