Happy Monday everyone! Here are some music-related items from the local blogosphere to start your week.
New Releases and Reviews
Ottawa Showbox reviews the first single by Kings of Lowertown off their new album 60 More Miles that is scheduled to be released this coming October. "The track, called 'Shotgun Preacher' is a short but sweet preview of what to expect form the upcoming album, and boasts dirty sounding blues riffs along with distorted vocals," says the post.
PhotogMusic writes about the new Fire and Neon album Intention. "Wow! They sure have come a long way from what I have heard like a year or two before seeing their live shows," reads the post. "They sure have gone through the serious electro-synth pop-rock route. Not really dark but more of a solid and tighter/proper sound in their music and lyrics."
Local jazz vocalist and composer Renée Yoxon posts on her blog some of the reviews for her album Here We Go Again. For their part, Beau's brewing company has released a bubblegum pink vinyl record with tracks from five indie Canadian artists.
Upcoming Shows
The Big Beat notes that U.S. “proto-punks” Pere Ubu will be playing in Ottawa on September 16.
Finally, Ottawa Showbox reports that local, "pow wow step innovators A Tribe Called Red are going to be on the bill for this year’s Mad Decent Black Party."
