On Dec. 12,  The Skilletlikkers heated up the Slice with some  down home alt country twang, knocking off a set of upbeat originals and covers by the like of Fred Eaglesmith. Their second set included  crowd favourites, including an ode to Pilsner, done originally by the Agriculture Club, and one of my favourites, an impassioned ‘I wouldn’t take a million dollars for a single  Maple Leaf,” which lead guitarist Andy McNamara sang.
