Sparklesaurus

The VOTW is a revisited version of “Flower Boy” by Lady Charles, a retro ode from the retired band Sparklesaurus.

Someone who has been to most—if not all—of these shows is Ottawa music photographer/maverick Ming Wu, whose blog photogmusic.com has published at least 150 concert reviews at Pressed alone.

Marvest takes place at over 20 shops and venues on Bank Street, between Lansdowne Park and the Queensway, on Friday September 13 and Saturday September 14, 2019. Admission is free.

Mushy Gushy, Sparklesaurus, and Expanda Fuzz are playing at The Commons in Mediastyle (131 Bank St, 3rd floor) which is a beautiful space located in an historic building.

A staggered schedule, the close concentration of venues, and short set-times are meant to make seeing bands easy. MEGAPHONO unfolds from February 7–9, 2019.

We also name a Contributors’ Pick, Ottawa’s most prolific artist and top record label of 2018.

Watch this space while the Top 50 countdown continues daily until NYE.

Sparklesaurus and Run Coyote are performing with Deadpan Romeo at Pressed on Saturday November 17.

The indie band’s release show is happening alongside vinyl bins and a thrift pop-up at St. Alban’s Church on Saturday night, May 26.

We look to the CHUO 89.1FM charts to see which records made the highest weekly appearances in 2017.

Mauno, Lido Pimienta, Nap Eyes, BLAKDENIM, Above Top Secret, Scattered Clouds, Expanda Fuzz, Bonnie Doon and many more will perform at clubs and pop-up venues around town.

With one week before their sixth edition, there’s still plenty of time to discover artists in the Arboretum Festival lineup.
