When you spend multiple days on end listening to a great band for a review, I must tell you: it’s hard not to get personally invested and attached to the music. This is especially true when it’s as layered and listenable as Cold Capital’s newly released debut LP “Frozen Assets”, and even more so when the […]

I’m really starting to believe that the only people who think Ottawa is boring are those who aren’t aware of all the amazing festivals we hold here every year. Another perfect example is this weekend’s Doldrums Music Festival. Launched 5 years ago to help kick those Ottawa winter blues, Doldrums is still going strong and back […]

As appreciators of fine Canadian music, I’m sure we all have April 2nd circled on our calendars in anticipation of the 2017 Juno Awards. The award ceremony will take place in our very own city this year at the Canadian Tire Centre, hosted by well-known Canadian celebrities Russell Peters and Bryan Adams. If you haven’t […]

To celebrate this week’s announcement of the 2017 RBC Bluesfest lineup, we wanted to shine our Feature Friday spotlight on one of the many well deserving local artists that are playing the festival this year. Catch a glimpse of what you can expect by checking out tunes from indie pop local, the lovely Alison Rose: https://alisonrosemusic.bandcamp.com/releases Released […]

**Please note that this Feature was written before How Far To Mexico stepped in to replace Potential Red, who had to drop out of the line up due to an injury.** The cause: Coming together to raise money for MusiCounts, local bands Sparklesaurus, Blve Hills, and Potential Red will be performing at Live On Elgin on […]

It may only be the end of January, but it’s never too early to dust off those festival shoes: Megaphono Music Showcase Festival & Conference is almost here! Running from February 1-3, the local festival boasts over 50 artists playing in many venues all across the region. While perfect for concertgoers, it’s also doubly beneficial for […]

Happy New Year, Ottawa!! As we start settling into 2017, we are back in the office and back at it: working hard to make sure that we connect you to the most live music in the city. We launched a mere 6 months ago, but the experience and all the local music we’ve discovered have […]

Super pumped to check out “Spring EP” by Prayer Wheels for our first Feature in December! They refer to themselves as a “choir-rock band”,  and while perhaps not an overly common term or genre, I’m not sure that it’s possible to be more accurately descriptive of their music. There are definitely many other elements and more […]

If you are already fans of BB Cream, I’m sure you are aware that their show at Pressed tonight will be their last. While that news may be a bummer, there is a silver lining: they leave us with a brand new album, “Rose Petal Pie”, released today. In anticipation of their sophomore release, I spent […]

With last week’s break to focus on the launch of our giveaway for PUP tickets (still over a week to enter!), we’re back on track with our Feature Friday this week on Nighttime In Kansas. The indie rock trio first caught my eye at a sold out show last month at Pressed when they opened for […]
