J’envoie translation in English means “I Send”. J’envoie is a band whose name popped up around 2008/2009 for various shows in the Ottawa music scene. If I am correct the band is from Gatineau (formally Hull)?.

It was night three and the last night for the i(heart)music festival that happened on August 28th. It was a big night because seven bands was playing not just one but two rooms at Mavericks and Cafe Dekcuf. The night happened to be The Love Machine‘s CD Release show for their long awaited full length …
The second night of the i(heart)music festival happened on August 27th. The turnout was better than the before but still I love the bands that played the night before. (People, you have to check out Parlovr big time!) It felt like Ottawa bands night well minus the one band from Toronto. Sorry for this review …
The first time I saw We Fled Cairo live was (coincidentally) on April 20, 2008. They opened for Woodhands at Zaphod Beeblebrox. Two years has passed for the duo of Dave Mandia who plays Guitar, Bass and sometimes Drums & Richard Monette who plays Drums. They finally released something substantial called Adult Braces. Apparently its …
It was the first night of the i(heart)music festival at Mavericks. The turnout was not what I expected it probably it was a Thursday night or people are away on vacation before summer ends (WHO KNOWS!). But I was happy to see all four acts playing one great show on Thursday night. It was also …
Finally got the time to listen to Inter Arbiter by Inlets. Inlets is fronted by Sebastian Krueger and is a one man artist from Brooklyn. I was lucky enough to catch a set during NXNE and happened to see someone well known and is friends with the Sebastian Kruger.

Beach House is one my favorite bands at the moment. I was very lucky to see them live for the first time when I was at Osheaga. The band just dropped a iTunes Session EP. Mostly re-workings of their songs from Teen Dream and one from Devotion (Gila) Sadly Zebra wasn’t on the EP which …
Here’s one great reason to go to the Ottawa Folk Festival: You can meet members of the bands you love! I managed to catch up with Joey Burns after Calexico‘s jaw-dropping jam session with The Acorn, Tanya Tagaq, Namgar, and Kim Beggs during the “A Place Called Home” workshop on Saturday, August 14. I was …
I will make this entry somewhat clean unless you listen to the song. Just happened to find this online and its becoming a viral sensation on Youtube with the lyrical music video. I am talking about Cee Lo Green‘s F**k You. For those that don’t know he sang on the song Crazy as one half …
