In a last-minute celebration of tonight's show, we're giving away a pair of tickets to the 20th person [...]

As stated on part one of the results. I guess I wasn't very specific on this category. This was included for anyone who plays the acoustic guitar. With the votes tallied up. Narrowed it down with the Top 5 plus three honorable mentions. So here are the results for Hottest Guitarists. Hopefully for next year, I will be prepared on who should be nominated and have more females added. Sorry if I couldn't find the right photos. HOTTEST GUITARISTS: [...]

Over the past 10 days, I decided to make this poll called "Who's Hot In Ottawa's Music Scene 2012″. I wanted to see what kind of feedback from those who usually check this site out. Try to get a sense of what is happening in the Ottawa music scene. With the feedback came positive and negative reactions. As I stated before, this poll is for fun and not to be taken seriously. There were six different categories for you to vote for and going to make them separate. I am going to reveal the [...]

Aren't Ottawa folks pretty wild? Couldn't think of photo to use for this post. Don't we all love (or dislike) polls and surveys? I am doing this for "fun", see if this experiment works and not to be taken very seriously. This will show that Ottawa is not a boring city. Here is the first annual "Who's Hot In Ottawa's Music Scene 20123. There is a good and interesting music scene happening here. So why not showcase these Ottawa bands and musicians. [...]

Frank Yang It probably amounts to some sort of Can-rock heresy, but I think I actually like Bry Webb on his own more than I ever did with Constantines . I fully acknowledge why many hold the Cons up as one of the greatest Canadian rock acts of the past however many years/decades/centuries - I've seen them live , I know what they were capable of - but the fact is, his solo debut Provider has captivated me more than any of the [...]

I really wanted to see The Weather Station since it was a album release show for the new album " All Of It Was Mine ". The show started off with a Rolf Klausenser [...]
Well, we're just about halfway with the reposts... Today, we feature volumes 9 and 10, which were originally posted in August 2009. Volume 10 holds a special place in this blog's history, because that's when Aaron from Tsururadio offered to post the mix on his blog. That started a bit of following and it has grown ever since. Aaron's moved onto Tsuruphoto, following his passion for photography. He now has a nudie-zine featuring some edgy but tasteful art, several videos to promote the zine and Tsuruphoto, and the occasional mixtape. We owe a big thanks for his early support, and [...]
Filed under: News , Exclusive , New Music , New Releases Paper Bag Records If you're convinced that the Acorn are just another testimony to Canada's sprawling folk-rock landscape, you've got another thing coming. After working on electro project, Silken Laumann, for the better part of a year, lead singer Rolf Klausener is ready to formerly introduce listeners to his experimental side. "I'm working on a dance project that's almost done, [...]
When I walked up to the Biltmore to interview Leif Vollebekk , I found him closing the van and introduced myself. Turns out I was actually talking to Rolf from Acorn (the band Leif was on tour with). Leif and Rolf look uncannily alike and could easily be confused for siblings. So I guess it is luck the Acorn chose Leif to go on tour with them. Leif later told me that he was manning the merch [...]
