Wonderful Monday night show at St. Alban’s Church with Richard Reed Parry and Corwin Fox. Formerly from Ottawa now living in Cumberland, British Columbia, Corwin Fox began the show with some Canadian roots folk music. Lots of story telling about his life living in Ottawa and now in BC. It was a nice intimate set …
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 …
OK! I’m late on posting this. Montreal’s Krief released the music video for Daydream Lover. The first single from his upcoming album Dovetale, due out in Spring 2019 via Indica Records. The music video was shot by Canadian director Christohper Mills, who’s worked on really epic videos for Interpol, Metric, Modest Mouse, Tegan and Sarah, …

Girls+ Rock Ottawa with collaboration with Anakbayan Ottawa (Who provided the amazing food!) presented a wonderful packed show at General Assembly with Pantayo and Scary Bear Soundtrack. Arrived at the venue when the workshop with Pantayo was almost ending. It was a quite something to see people playing their instruments. Kind of bummed out on …
There was no way I didn’t want to miss out this show on November 16th at Black Squirrel Books which was presented by Debaser and First Crush Promotion. Performing that night was Chandra, New Chance and Klapshmock! Starting off the show was Ottawa’s Klapshmock! Dressed up like a futuristic soldier, this set was an experimental …
It is that time of year! 2018 is coming to an end. With so many lists going around and forgetting who to put down. I know it is very early but I want to get this done with. Starting off with #11 to #20 of Ottawa release which includes EPs too. 11. Ethnotehnique – Basement …
Totally forgot to post these photos from the October 13, 2018 show at House of Targ. But it is good timing since Montreal’s Priors will drop their second album New Pleasure out on November 16, 2018. Made it for parts of Empty Nester‘s set. Again I’ve seen the Ottawa garage-punk band so many time that …
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 …
