The Tragically Hip’s last concert in Ottawa is on Thursday, to let us all rejoice in their music and say thanks to frontman Gord Downie, who was diagnosed with brain cancer. This show, like all others on their Man Machine Poem Tour, sold out almost instantly, but the band is holding a ticket draw ending each concert day, ending at 11 a.m. This holds even for their penultimate, final show in their hometown Kingston on Aug. 20.) Go to www.thehip.com to register.
The final concert will be televised and so far, despite numerous petitions and social media efforts, there has been no movement to stream it at either City Hall or on Parliament Hill. (Guessing Trudeau is not a fan?) However, there are a few viewing parties planned, and we anticipate most bars will be switching to the CBC on this night so all can party amid the tears:
The Arboretum Festival hits its stride this week with some delicious food, beer garden, night bazaar and kids’ playzone at a new hub among the club venues, brunch and BBQ and some amazing workshops and panels on timely topics.
But let’s discuss how to navigate the fantastic musical lineups with our picks:
• Thursday we recommend the Babely Shades Block Party, to catch an arty-electro lineup including Toronto’s activist rap trio Above Top Secret and headliner, Colombian sound and song creator Lido Pimienta, who are utterly fascinating and have yet to play here: House of Common. Though this is tough, because there’s a post-punk show with early grunge sound from Dilly Dally, and fave Toronto duo, Twist, offering fuzzy, less naïf songs with their latest releases: Babylon.
• Friday it’s a no brainer: Sloan play the entirety of their album, One Chord to Another, on its 20th anniversary (what!) and awesome grunge punk band METZ, with its roots in the murk of our city, close out the night.
• Saturday: catch the brunch or BBQ, then nap (as instructed), to catch laid back goth rockers Frigs at 7:15 p.m., some of electric NYC rapper Junglepussy (7:45 p.m.), then be schooled by performance artist Mykki Blanco 8:45 p.m), to end with some dancing to new wave, 80s electro-informed, quirky tunes from Montreal’s Operators (10 p.m.): Concert Village.
• Sunday: cool down with some synth bliss at an all-ages show at Daïmon, from noon.
• Bar Robo each night for DJ after-parties; It’s where that cute band member will probably be.
Up against The Hip’s Ottawa show, Dany Laj and the Looks play power pop rock with accessible, unpretentious (but hipstery) charm, reminiscent of Bruce Springsteen, if he’d gone retro an added some surf touches. Aug. 18, with Altmeda, Ornaments, 10 p.m., House of Targ. $5 before 10 p.m. www.houseoftarg.com
On Saturday, utterly entrancing, so-French, art-pop creator Klô Pelgag — think musical Amélie at a piano, with sprinkling of early Kate Bush — is headlining a free show that will, sadly, be battling for attention against The Hip. But she and compatriot Francis Faubert, a similarly quirky, heart-wrenching, garage rock-folk songwriter who released a new album this spring, may be the perfect foil for those seeking anything but Bobcaygeon. (Though, that’s song it wouldn’t be weird to hear on this stage.) Show ends at 11 p.m. Aug. 20, 8 p.m., Zaphod’s. Free. RSVP at www.ticketfly.com/purchase/event/1281259/
Foot-stomping and charmingly wry Acadian songwriter Lisa Leblanc headlines tonight’s show at St. Albert Curd Festival where, as added bonus, they will be handing out the squeaky cheese and there will definitely be poutine. Leblanc is a crowd-favourite with her ‘headbaging banjo playing” and frank songs, including the new single off her upcoming album, which every friend should have in their “your boyfriend sucks” arsenal. Aug. 20, with The Casual Affairs, 8 p.m., 150 St. Paul St., St-Albert. $30. festivaldelacurd.ca
There’s an all-ages show with headliner Something You Whisper, playing alt rock-flavoured post-hardcore, though there is a mix of indie hardcore and metal on the stage before them. Aug. 20, with Vesuvius, WKFLD, Trentia, Eyes over Sea, 7 to 11:30 p.m., Cafe Dekcuf. $15 at the door.
Also Saturday, francophone rapper Manu Militari is on stage with his bold and sometimes intimate raps. In his ten years in the public eye, he’s not shied away from controversy or tackling difficult topics, and even his own childhood comes under the lens in his 2015 releae, Océan. But this time, our sacred cows are revealed and torn down with a calming musical backdrop. Aug. 20, 8 p.m., Minotaure. $16.73. http://bit.ly/2btazHW
(For some hip hop in the raw, as it were, catch east coast, mi’kma’q rapper Shift from Tha 902, or Todd Googoo, on Wednesday at The Rainbow. Aug. 24, 8:30 p.m. $7. therainbow.ca)
Sunday is becoming the night for visiting new-wave bands to play Ottawa; Toronto’s underground-romantics Century Palm, who pay unabashed homage to their 80s post-punk forbears with songs that are dark and fresh at the same time. They’re joined by Ottawa’s power-punk Average Times, who have got new songs sure to get the dance floor throbbing. Aug. 21, with Feel Alright, Fever Feel, 7 to 11 pm., Pressed. $8/PWYC.
Toronto based, folk-leaning songwriter Edward Sayers will be on stage solo testing out some new tunes for his upcoming album. some new tunes for anew album. He says this music will be somewhere between he says sit somewhere between the “energetic folk rock” he played with the band Asmodeus, and the very languid, Neil Young-esque timbre of his 2014 EP, Pax Romana — though we’d be pefectly happy if he just gave us more of that. Aug. 23, 8:30 p.m., The Rainbow. $5. therainbow.ca
Much louder, Brazil’s classic metal band Hibria, with hair-band vocalising but not the clothes and tehc metal chops, is in town as part of their 20th anniversary tour. They’ve just released a new album, XX, on Aug. 9, with four live performances off their catalogue, plus three new tracks. Aug. 23, with Death Wish, Thruster, 8 p.m., House of Targ. $13. www.chordproductions.com
