From one show to another, I headed up to Bar Robo for some local bands performing. These bands were Potential Red, Trees and Paper Ladies. Second time in less than a month seeing this Ottawa band. More raucous this time around since it is a smaller intimate venue for their post-punk/new wave music. Not sure …
Month: April 2017
Andrew Vincent and the Pirates performed to a rocking set at the Record Centre on April 29, 2017. Originally scheduled back in the winter but due to a broken wrist by one of the pirates. The show got pushed to lovely spring time. Performing mostly from the album I Love The Modern Love to a …
I was so excited for this show at Zaphod Beeblebrox on April 28th! Preoccupations hadn’t played an actual Ottawa show (Bluesfest doesn’t count and it was raining that night) since they released their eponymous album back in fall of 2016. Also on the bill was Walrus and The Yips. One of the wildest and sweatiest …

It was a magical emotional and wonderful concert at St. Albans Church presented by Megaphono and Arboretum Festival. Can’t believe it that The Acorn‘s album Glory Hope Mountain is 10 years old! One of those shows you don’t want to miss out. Special guest opening up for them was Montreal’s Un Blonde. Nice video projection …
It was Record Store Day 2017 on April 22nd. The Record Centre was participating at this year’s event and had some wonderful live in-store performances by Keturah Johnson, Nathanaël Larochette and Colossus of Rhodes. Sadly I missed the last band which was No Mistakes in Space (Hopefully catch them live sometime soon). While I got …
As part of Debaser‘s Spring Thing on Friday night. Next door from Zaphod Beeblebrox at the Dominion Tavern, performing there was Lab Coast, Slow Dawn and Trails. Enjoyed Calgary’s Lab Coast with their catchy guitar pop-rock music. Didn’t stay too long but was glad to see them perform! Second act to perform was Ottawa’s Slow …
