Jesse Northey and the Dandelions played a fun-filled, but sparsely attended fund-raiser at Average Joes, Sept. 2  for a new local 15-minute short film called “Dilemma.” Dilemma finished shooting, at Average Joes, Sept. 6.

Northey began with an joke filled, set of solo acoustic music including some new originals and a couple covers including Radiohead’s “Creep.”

The band joined him to play their last show with bassist Chris Banman who is heading west for school. They played most of the music from their new CD “Lion’s Tooth” then ended with  a cool cover of the Violent Femmes’ “Blister In The Sun,” as well as crowd favourite “The Van Song” and a cover of disco classic “I Will Survive,” which was  a lot of fun.
