Malignant Tumour is a longstanding metal band formed in the early 90s just after the fall of the Soviet Union in Ostrava, near the border of Poland that has since become home to a thriving music scene. As one of the Czech Republic’s first big-name grindcore bands, they hold a certain standing, several national awards and play often throughout Europe. Since about 2004, their music has reached a broader audience, straddling the line between full-speed thrash and hardcore rock, and touching on topics from the genre-typical sex and war, to some socially-conscious ones, possibly influenced by the punk bands with which they have often played. June 2, with Signs of Chaos, A Darker Day, metal, 10 p.m, Mavericks, 221 Rideau St. Tickets: $13. www.chordproductions.com


Their press information describes The Cave Singers as “the people’s band,” and we cannot dispute that. This now three-member, endearingly friendly band was formed by Pretty Girls Make Graves’ Derek Fudesco, singer/songwriter Peter Quirk (Hint Hint) and drummer Marty Lund, and have recently returned to this founding lineup. Their last indie album, Banshee, released in Feb. 2016 (all the vinyl copies are sold out) seems like a blue collar treat, but their beautiful musicianship and eclectic nature of these atmospheric songs belie any garage beginnings: from the post-punk, surfy That’s Why, to the Americana of Fade Away to the almost Springsteen-like, gentle anthem Southern Bell, and rock groove of Christmas Night. All of the songs feature Quirk’s raspy voice, and Fudesco’s tight guitar, and were produced by Randell Dunn, who also worked on their breakout 2011 album No Witch: “He adds a beautiful darkness,” the band said.

The band — they call themselves a rock band, but may be something closer to nu-folk — has had some car trouble on this self-financed tour, with the transmission on their van blowing somewhere near Chicago, but were hoping to get it working again before they have to head here. Let’s hope, for our sake, they make it. June 3, with Blank Range, 10 p.m, House of Targ. $10 in advance. www.houseoftarg.com

Also on Friday, Westfest’s three days of family-fun and concerts start with some audience participation performances from 4 p.m., until the adult-only after-party at Elmdale Tavern at 10 p.m. Saturday, the all-day fun will be capped with a show featuring headliner and afro-jazz party band The SoulJazz Orchestra, alongside The Lionyls and The Split (6 p.m.). The party does not stop on the day of rest, with Lucky Ron heading outside for a show (8 p.m.), followed by alt-country, bluegrass band Luther Wright and The Wrongs. Scroll below to see the jam-packed schedule of music by day. Laroche Park, free. www.westfest.ca


Even with the Westfest free concerts, it’s going to be tough to choose who to see on Saturday with these three other options.

First, the lesser known but no less a treat is Les Deuxluxes, a Montreal duo who play big, bold blues with rockabilly flair and massive stage presence, aided by the big voice of Anna Frances Meyer. (Why is this Montréalais not a household name yet?) Expect denim or feathers or sequins, or all three, as the power-duo shred the stage — with multi-instrumentalist Etienne Barry on guitar — with slightly-trashy, but very saucy songs. If one were to believe Elvis never died, it would be because of Meyer’s stage presence and ability to move from crooning lovingly to having the crowd leap to their feet from her sheer exuberance and rocking, enormous vocal prowess. This is one time when the studio recordings do not do a group justice. Don’t miss this show; you’ll be able to say you heard them when. (June 4, 8 p.m., Le Petit Chicago. $15 at the door.



Also from Montreal, but very different, acclaimed three-piece experimental pop band Braids have a new 19-minute EP, Companion, with which they are touring. This collection of four songs is literally companion to their Juno Award-winning alternative album, Deep in the Iris — which remains one of my favourite listens of 2015, as they were written at the same time. This is not an afterthought, nor a mere continuation of Iris, but stands strong on its own, showing the evolving nature of this band while they continue to tackle sexism and violence in their writing and artful song production. Here, they emerge, touching on the edges of the sound spectrum from hard beats and danger (on Joni) to soft, earnest reaching out as singer Raphaelle Standell-Preston’s striking voice becomes a lull (on Companion). June 4, 10 p.m., Ritual. Tickets: $13. spectrasonic.com


Ottawa-based instrumental band The Night Watch is launching their second album on Saturday. Don’t yawn; these guys are making gorgeous music, blending their classical training with metal, prog-rock, folk, swing and ambient noise to make something that is not all thrashing guitars (though, there are those moments, too, just thankfully not too often). They will be playing what is in essence a concept album right through in the first set, and then more from their catalogue at an all-ages show. It’s not a bad chance to show the kid how the violin they’ve been forced to play can do something besides play “popcorn, and candy”. June 4, 8:45 p.m., Pressed. $10 cover.


Let us not forget the big man who is a dinner, Meat Loaf is playing TD Place on Monday. He’s almost 70 now, but promises to deliver as spectacular a show as one might hope, with all of his big anthems such as Paradise By The Dashboard Light and I Will Do Anything for Love on the songlist. However, five decades in the music business later he is still creating material, with his 13th studio album due to come out in September, so there may be some new stuff to hear. Did you know his introductory opus, 1977’s Bat Out of Hell remains the fifth best-selling album of all time? (He says he will also try, this time, to not fall off the stage, badly injure himself and end the show early.) June 6, 8 p.m. $73.65-$163.65. tdplace.ca


On Tuesday, we can enjoy folk three very different ways as Northcote, aka singer-songwriter Matt Goud, returns to Ottawa where he lived while writing his most-recently released album, Hope is Made of Steel — we’re told he has lived in six cities across the country so far. This is his first time headlining a tour since 2013 with his full band (Stephen McGillivray, Mike Battle, Derek Heathfield), though he did play with the group supporting Frank Turner on his tour — check out Goud’s covers of Turner’s songs online. Goud said he wanted to be playing more electric guitar, hence note the rock and punk nods on his country-tinged folk.

He is joined by B.C.s Jordan Klassen, who played Ottawa in April with his fairy-folk album, Javelin, released in February. As we’ve discussed before, this is folk with a lot of emotion, and big, ’90s new age vistas with quirky, electronic touches.

Completely different but also on the bill are Josiah and The Bonnevilles, a three-piece band from Tennessee offering folk with indie-rock touches on the edge of Americana, with very frank and addictively lush songs, despite their simplicity. June 7, 10 p.m., House of Targ, 1077 Bank St. Tickets: $8 in advance. www.houseoftarg.com



Local country sweetheart Kira Isabella is part of a western-themed fundraising concert, Ottawa 4 Fort Mac, to help those devastated in the recent Alberta wildfire, with proceeds to the Red Cross. The hosts are former Senator Chris Phillips and Mayor Jim Watson, with beer and pizza included, and other country-related events. Other performers include River Town Saints, The Abrams, Jordan McIntosh and Meghan Patrick. June 8, 6:30 to 10 p.m, Aberdeen Pavilion. $80. www.jimwatsonottawa.ca/Ottawa4FortMac
