Definitely one of my favorite shows before 2018 ends. Protomartyr, Preoccupations and Rattle played at The 27 Club on November 24, 2018. It was part of their November/December tour and Ottawa was the second stop. So I was arrived about half-way during the British drum duo Rattle. It was an unbelievable set of these two …
Wonderful show at Irene’s Pub with Mauno, Fenster and JK3 on November 23, 2018. Ottawa’s JK3 kicked off the show with some cool jazz funky music. The drummer Jeff Kingsbury did a funny pre-recorded portion about the band with a monotone voice. Great way to warm up the crowd. 8/10. Berlin’s Fenster was second and …
When the NAC announced their fall season for 2018 and Electronic act A Tribe Called Red was on the list.

First of a two sold out show at the National Arts Centre – Babs Asper Theatre with Bahamas and Tim Baker. Starting off the show was the former frontman of Hey Rosetta! Tim Baker. It was a wonderful intimate solo show. Playing music from his upcoming album which comes out in 2019 and some Hey …
Monday nights can be a tough sell for bands to play in Ottawa. But I wanted to see two acts that are on Polyvinyl Records. It was The Dodos and Palehound. Starting off the set was Boston’s Palehound. I was hoping for something loud but it was more of a moody indie rock set. Also …
