Saturday night at Cinqhole with four rocking power popping bands performing. They were Pony, Pretty Matty, Sad Baxter and Stoby. Arrived for the last few songs by Ottawa’s Stoby. No hazmat suits this time but more of straight up rock set. Second time this year seeing Nashville’s Sad Baxter. Great heavy grungey rock set and …
Friday night at the 27 Club with Owen Pallett and Carmen Elle. The show started off with Diana lead singer Carmen Elle. Far different from the synth-pop where it was just Carmen and her guitar. Can’t wait to hear what Carmen has in store with her own music. It has been a long time since …
Another show on Thursday night was at Pressed. Caught most of Rayannah and L CON but missed out on Orchidae. Arrived when Rayannah was performing and was accompanied by Orchidae. Lovely visual projection and great electro-pop music. She did a electro cover of Joni Mitchell’s A Case of You. Then caught most of L CON’s …
Evan J. Cartwright is one those musicians you see perform with other bands like U.S Girls, Andy Shauf, Tasseomancy or Luka. He stopped by in Ottawa to do a free intimate show at Cinqhole. Performing tracks from the EP DON’t which came out in August. It was nice and lovely singer/songwriter set of music.

Caught parts of Backxwash who started off the show. Surely gaining some new fans with a blend of experimental and …

Two bands that I wanted to catch at Live on Elgin on November 6th. It was Toronto’s Jane’s Party and Vancouver’s Frankiie. First time seeing the Vancouver band Frankiie. They are promoting their debut album Forget Your Head which is out on Paperbag Records. Nice set of indie dream rock music! 8/10. Then it was …
There was this great show I didn’t want to miss out at Pressed on November 5th. Two East Coast and Montreal bands on the bill. Started off with PEI’s Sorrey who started off the set with some indie dream pop rock music. Kind of reminded of Alvvays mixed with Basement Revolver. 7/10. Second band was …
