Photo Dump: Pouzza Day 1 Part III, May 15th

The first day of Pouzza, Beach Slang packed Katacombs up to capacity and then nearly played a set that ended 20 minutes early. Upon hearing that they still had that long left, the band joked about just playing the first half over again, before going into a cover song. Earlier that day, Toronto band PKEW PKEW PKEW (gunshots) were one of the first to take the stage.  
At Piranha, French-based Guerilla Poubelle played a secret set, the day before their announced one.

Friday at Pouzza part two! 

One of the first bands to play the festival were Montreal's own Miracles, fresh off a win as Emerging Artist of the Year (French) at last week's SiriusXM Indie awards. Headlining later that night was singer Joey Cape of Lagwagon fame. Finally, featured in this set, is "Danny and the Havoks," an early-AFI cover band. They were one of the last bands to close out the night, with the crowd going wild during their enthusiastic and interactive set.

On the first day of Pouzza festival in Montreal, Foufounes was filled with dancers and moshers alike, and of course, some fantastic bands. First in this photo set is PUP, who packed the room and even played a new song about annoying ones girlfriend in an unconventional manner. The night also included Fake Problems, whose hip-shaking tunes had the whole venue dancing, and Teenage Bottlerocket, who quickly turned the dancing into moshing.

Check out the photos below the cut, as well as a video of PUP's new song!
