The Slice was packed  for a folk punk and pop night, Friday, Aug. 9.

 I arrived too late to catch Toronto pop duo Goodnight, Sunrise, but was surprised to see a crowd of local punks excited to see Montreal musician Mike Desj playing banjo, sitting in a rocking chair.

 He bellowed out roots punk music along the lines of Elliott Brood.

 He picked up the stand up bass to join Jesse Stewart, who was playing mandolin for his set.
