Two local songwriters are going to be testing out new songs on the unsuspecting audiences this week though, given their credentials, no one has to fear. Also, the two great treats of the week are both all-ages shows, oddly enough.
Local popular folk troubadour Craig Cardiff hasn’t released a new album in a few years but, we are told, he will be testing out songs that are so new they have yet to have any names at his two gigs at The Branch in Kemptville. However, there are only tickets left to the Thursday night show, as Friday has already sold out. April 7, 8 p.m, The Branch. $20. thebranchrestaurant.ca / http://bit.ly/1TwuoPn
Then on Saturday, eclectic indie-rocker Claude Munson and his band are going to be performing new songs of their upcoming sophomore album at The Black Sheep Inn. We have not heard any of them so cannot comment on any chance. He plays with Trails and Future States, April 9, 8:30 p.m., The Black Sheep Inn. $10 in advance. theblacksheepinn.com
One of the big treats of the week is a release show from legendary shoegazers The Veldt, who were breaking musical barriers decades before genre-bender The Weeknd won all those Junos. The group, made up of NYC-based twin brothers Danny and Daniel Chavis and bassist/programmer Hayato Nakao, have two gigs in Ottawa: they will be chatting about sticking with their musical truth when back in 1986 no one would accept a black band doingf the unexpected, and their experience playing with such seminal alternative bands as The Cocteau Twins, My Bloody Valentine, The Pixies and Jesus and Mary Chain (3 to 5 p.m, The Record Centre).
Then, they take to the stage for what may be the first all-ages show at Zaphod’s with the release party for their new EP, The Shocking Fuzz of Your Electric Fur: The Drake Equation, a collection of tunes that go back to their roots: combining electronics with soulful vocals and wonderfully distorted guitars with wonderfully emotive effect. This is do-not-to-miss show. April 8, 8 p.m., Zaphod Beeblebrox. $8.50. zaphods.ca
The other great delight is The Dandy Warhols, a band that’s not new — though a little bit younger than The Veldt (formed in 1994) — but still with a legion of fans, even among those who weren’t around for the release of brit-pop informed, psych-rock party hits Bohemian Like You, and Not If you Were the Last Dandy on Earth. The Band has just released a new album, Distortland, that is as funky, fun, irreverent and stoner-rific as their earlier tunes, perfect for hiding away in a room and listening to over and over again. (It’s even got a tune fittingly referencing that icon for directionless youth, the Catcher in the Rye.) The show is, again, all-ages as high demand for tickets moved the show from their original venue to the Bronson Centre, which may be a bit perverse given the band’s famous, albeit good-natured, proclivity to enjoying a good party. (Drinks will be served to those with appropriate ID.) April 9, with Seratones, 8 p.m., Bronson Centre. $35-$36. spectrasonic.com
Unabashed dancing can be had with Jennifer Lee, a.k.a. TOKiMOnsta (which seems to also be the name of her cat), an L.A.-based producer who is part of the pack combining hip hop, R&B and dance for crossover delights. She is known for her varied creations, able to pull out from her repertoire songs that will suit a mellow, trance club to getting the crowd rolling at EDM festivals with Skrillex. Her most recent mini-album of seven songs, Fovere, released in March is a vocal-heavy compilation of hits (including rapper Anderson Paak). She’s at Ritual tonight, so who knows what she may play. April 7, 10 p.m., Ritual. http://ticketf.ly/21ow0wk
Want to jump around and resurrect a mosh pit? Pkew Pkew Pkew (not to be confused with the gaming ‘pew pew’) are four guys from small Ontario towns who bonded over an acceptable fondness of nostalgia, staying young and getting drunk on cheap wine, and playing party, indie pop-punk anthems. Their debut album comes out in June, with the help from sorts who have worked with Tokyo Police Club, Gaslight Anthem and The Hold Steady. They are starting their tour in Ottawa, and the shows are going to be raucous, with suitably speedy guitars. April 7, 10 p.m., House of Targ. $7. www.houseoftarg.com
Blues pop-rockers and regular bar band Arms of the Girl, are throwing what they say will be an “intimate house party” concert at LIVE on Elgin, in celebration of their fourth EP, Paper Copper Steel. It’s a collection of songs looking at the shapes of various relationships, their aftermath and, quite cunningly, the EP is so titled for the “anniversary gift” suitable for the length of the time they’ve been playing together. The band brings some unabashed energy and good-time attitude to the stage when they play. April 8, with Cody Allen, Weird with Cats, 8 p.m., LIVE on Elgin. $10. www.liveonelgin.com
Charismatic folk-roots songstress Oh Susanna (aka Suzie Ungerleider) is back in Ottawa after some time resting and writing (she last played in November at the Babes 4 BReasts fundraiser). She promises fans that her show start on time, so that those tired at the end of a long week will be able to see her, and still make it to bed by 11 p.m. The singer with the sweet, clear, heartwarming voice is going to be on stage with “the entire band,” which includes local superstar Jim Bryson. Then, they are playing the Sharbot Lake Country Inn on Saturday, if the NAC show sells out. April 8, 7:30 p.m., NAC Fourth Stage. $25. nac-cna.ca $25. nac-cna.ca
Suns of Stone bring rock to the House of Targ tonight at a benefit for Ottawa Inner City Health. Admission is a box of tampons (or pads, or menstrual cups), and all the items will be given to the Women’s special care unit of the Shepherd’s of Good Hope and Cornerstone women’s shelter. Or, pay $10 to get in. They play with blues rockers Cold Capital, indie folk rock from Lost to the River and folk punk from The Fays. April 8, 10 p.m., House of Targ, $10 or feminine hygiene products. www.houseoftarg.com
‘Slumerican’ rapper YelaWolf is in town with a his latest album, recorded in Nashville with the assistance of Eminem and other rap sorts.. What is interesting, though, is that YelaWolf seems to have abandoned his outlaw country beats à la Kid Rock, for a more R&B sound, with synth elements. Possibly, this influence may come from his lady love, Toronto pop-punk princess FeFe Dobson, who joins him on this tour. April 8, 8 p.m., Bronson Centre. $35-$45. spectrasonic.com
Legendary indie band The Lowest of the Low are back on tour after a hiatus (their debut 1991 album “Shakespeare, My Butt” has been named one of the Top 10 Canadian Album of all time. The group got together for a 20th anniversary tour and now, with a slightly changed lineup, are back on the road again, with more recording planned for this year, 9 p.m., Ritual. Tickets: $20. spectrasonic.com
Bitterly Healed’s name is a bit twee (apparently their members had all gone through some rough times when they took up together), but do not put that of you enjoying two Gatineau-based experimental folk groups who should be more widely known on this side of the river. BH are throwing a debut release party, for their album The Great Depression, but I promise you their songs show off the members musical skill, playful harmonies and are not, at all, as dark as one might think. They are joined by the delightful and surprising Aylmer folk group, Chérie, who at the very least offer a counterpoint with obviously happy, mellow songs. April 10, 8:30 p.m., The Black Sheep Inn, 753 Riverside Dr., Wakefield. Tickets: $10 in advance, $15 at the door. theblacksheepinn.com
North Carolina band The Sword started out as a doom metal group, but have sharply veered towards psychedelic rock of the anthemic, 70s sort that will make Monday feel like the start of vacation (why aren’t we at the cottage, anyway?). The band went more synth on their previous album (really ditching the metal), but have thankfully dialled that back in favour of more harmonies and rolling riffs on higher tuned guitars — and we can’t stop listening. The band seems O.K. is philosophical about their growth away from the angry to making “positive, uplifting music” with the album High Country (read into that what you will), which was released last August and has been hitting the charts around the world. April 11, 9 p.m., Ritual. $20. spectrasonic.com
