One of those great lovely intimate shows at the NAC Theatre for a rainy Saturday night. Brother and sister singer-songwriters Matthew Barber and Jill Barber made their final stop in Ottawa for their Family Album tour on May 6, 2017. Performing from their 2016 album The Family Album which was so beautiful to hear. They …
Ottawa Explosions presented a loud rocking punk show at Bar Robo. There was no way of missing out this show despite the week-long rain Ottawa has been getting. Performing at the show was Warp Lines, Street Eaters and The CHUDs. With the shuffling of the bands, Ottawa’s Warp Lines was the last band to perform. …
Fearing of not able to get into Bar Robo because of capacity issues. Sadly I missed FTRSL but will see him perform again. I got to the venue and there wasn’t like alot of people which I didn’t mind. At least I got there to see Toronto’s Nyssa performing her blend of glam-electro-pop music. I …
There was a nice show at The Record Centre on May 4, 2017. Montreal’s DF performed a wonderful experimental Jazz that was infused with interactive light installations. Ottawa’s mal/aimé performed a wonderful drone-chamber ambient music. Created with flickr slideshow.
Ending things for the month was this show that took place at Pressed on April 30th Performing was Tasseomany, Mega Bog and RAAS. Overall it was nice intimate Sunday show filled with electronic-dance with RAAS, stripped-down acoustic pop with Mega Bog and dreamy electro-pop with Tasseomancy. Created with flickr slideshow.
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 …
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 …
