It looked like a sparse audience for the Görgön Hörde, Miesha and the Spanks and Smokestack Jacks at the Slice, Jan. 22, so the 
show started late. El Görgön, the charismatic and cursing vocalist of the Edmonton garage punk trio noticed some of the stragglers trickling in, and started the band’s set over again just for them.
Al, Matt and Luke put on an energetic and fun-filled set of original ear-bleeding garage punk which was reminiscent of Nomeansno.
They sang a variety of songs about mall cops, the sasquatch liberation front, Jesus and mad scientists, so you knew you couldn’t take them too seriously as the lead Gorgon, who sported an old University of Lethbridge CKUL T-shirt, grinned a mischievous, evil grin and told the audience about when he grew up in Lethbridge, the city was known for two things — the wind and its “scumbags,” then dedicated a song to the latter.
Miesha and the Spanks were in fine form for a solid set following that.
Drummer Stuart Bota was playing fantastic rhythms like he was on fire and Miesha Louie played catchy guitar at ear blistering volume levels and belted out garagey/ bluesy vocal melodies.
