From Pete’s website (where the above photo was posted) …….

As The Artist Sanctuary started to come to a close for the day, people started to make plans for the evening. During the afternoon Aaron Douglas (Battlestar Galactica) and I had spent some time talking about music, and we decided to meet up at The Roxy to catch a band called The Dudes and then the Arkells. The Dudes were on a recommendation from a friend of Aaron’s and (just in case you haven’t noticed yet) I sort of enjoy getting out to see the Arkells every now and then, so it seemed like a good combination.

And the following is from an interview with Pete, where he talks about Aaron …….

Question: Who was your favourite encounter at the Juno after parties?

Answer: It’s an easy answer but maybe not what people would expect. I’m looking at this guy and I recognize him but I’m thinking through all the bands I’ve photographed — I photographed over 190 bands just last year — so I’ll recognize people but I can’t remember all the names. Then finally I hear someone say “Battlestar Galactica” So, I met Aaron Douglas and Kandyse McClure. I got a long with Aaron. He has a good sense of humor, and he’s interested in music and photography. We met up and went to see that bands that night including The Arkells — one of my favourites.
