Second night this week at Cinqhole. Performing that night was Peel Dream Magazine, Acapulco Gold and Fire Antlers. The band I was excited to see was the NYC band Peel Dream Magazine.

Friday night at Cinqhole with Material Girls and Siberian Breaks. Miraculously the Atlanta band Material Girls made their way to Ottawa because from Toronto their van broke down and had to get a replacement van. There is a GoFundMe page to help them with their cost. So the show was running a little late. I …

Shamelessly enough I had to go to Algonquin Commons Theatre to check out DJ Pauly D and Teddy Rose. There was nothing happening that night so why not? It was quite something and I will leave at that. At least Pauly D made it in Ottawa or at least pass the border. Anyways check out …
Decided to go to Irene’s Pub for some great local613 talent. They were Keturah Johnson, Jonathan Pearce and Claude Munson (Who I had to miss).
