Hi Folks,

My good friend Stu (not of this forum as he's about as musical as a dead fish but is an avid "finder" of bands) took me to see Canadian indie-rockers Wintersleep last week. I've not been a massive fan of them as I find their records a bit samey and Paul Murphy's voice gets a bit annoying but they really impressed me live.

On stage there was a lovely collection of vintage-y gear and I managed to get a few pics of the assorted pedals in use. I found Tim D'eon's use of a heavily Diamond based pedal board quite interesting and Mike Bigelow's bass just thundered through everything. I didn't see him use the micro amp much but he hit that big green muff plenty.
