There was an obvious international flavour consuming the Starfish Room last Thursday night. Les Thugs from France, Therapy? from Ireland and Girls Against Boys from the U.S.A. put on the Olympics of rock and roll shows and left victorious with the gold medal hung around the necks of their respective guitars.

After two great performances, Girls Against Boys had their work cut out for them, but ultimately rose to the challenge and impressed the crowd with their low-end power driven assault of the musical persuasion. The band's two bassists didn't surprise me -- but I was rather surprised to find a guitar in the band. It was quite apparent as to who the crowd came to see and for the next 80 minutes they got their fill. Girls against Boys closed the evening the way it was meant to be -- stellar.
