She's been inching that way ever since Shotgun & Jaybird, except her rock songs still sound like Julie Doiron songs!

Exactly; it is so so so wonderful. Those Shotgun & Jaybird records were pretty great aswell, though.
Did you hear the Shotgun Jimmy album that came out this year? I've only gotten a chance to give it a quick listen through, but it sounded pretty good. The band is also really great live. Saw them in a cramped record store basement and they covered 'That's When I Reach For My Revolver' and it was loud and rocking and everything you want out of a Mission of Burma cover.
Johnny C:
Yeah, The Onlys is really great. Actually I saw them with Ladyhawk and Attack In Black on Hallowe'en and it was incredible - Shotgun Jimmie did his full set and then like five Neil Young covers and his band included Woolly Leaves (the guy from Constantines whose name I forget). Then Attack In Black did a bunch of Ramones covers. Then Duffy took his guitar off and sang at us while Attack In Black guy played his guitar. oh my god what a good concert
P.S. Joseph did you ever listen to Horses? I can't be bothered to find their Myspace but I think as a rock-n-roll CanCon bro you'd dig 'em.
michaelicious:
Woolly Leaves is Will, the keyboard and sometimes guitar dude.
Johnny C:
Yes! Him.
Joseph:
Oh man the Constantines are so damn good. I'm not sure if Will was with Shotgun Jimmy when I saw them, but Steve playing as Baby Eagle was the first person to perform (Julie Doiron closed the afternoon). The only person I remember distincly recognizing was a girl who works at the record shop a lot.
I haven't heard Horses. The only Canadian band with a name about horses I can think of is They Shoot Horses Don't They, who are sadly now defunct. I'll check them out when I get a chance (no speakers on this computer).
