There’s a certain late 70s, early 80s soft rock groove happening this week that fits nicely with the haze of Thanksgiving and all its inherent, retro charm.
Wednesday// Paper Lions
There’s something to admire about a band that refuses to bow to pressures to remove all their regional quirks — even if it is just keeping the ‘u’ on their album title. It’s one of the small benefits of having the luxury (though hard work, connections and a small community), to self-engineer, produce and release your album P.E.I. creators Paper Lions found on their latest effort, Full Colour, released in mid-September. The band spent over a year just writing in a studio; their first time able to create fearlessly, and for fun, said guitarist Colin Buchanan, and one the band relished. It let the band eschew its earlier indie rock sound to hunt out and experiment to get just the “right quirk” for each song, something that required synthesizers and a few engineering tricks.
The new songs are still identifiable as Paper Lions’, still vocally driven with an emotive earnestness, but lean towards early 80s soft rock; Buchanan even admitted the band was highly informed by the intricate pop of the likes of Phil Collins and Tears for Fears. But as a result, translating the songs for live play on their tour has been difficult: “I won’t pretend it hasn’t been a challenge. We had to raise our game as musicians, that’s for certain. We’re not just plugging into an amp, any more.”
They’ve not played a lot of gigs for this album, but enough to get the kinks worked out, including adding a keyboardist to the tour, and have upped the showmanship factor, too — though the limitations of Zaphod’s stage means the show will be more rock-style than pop show. (Catch them at the Mod Club in Toronto to see the screens used to full effect.) Oct. 12, with Rebelle, Townes, 8 p.m., Zaphods. $10. spectrasonic.com / zaphods.ca
Friday// Roxanne Potvin
Montrealaise Roxanne Potvin and her guitar are playing an intimate show at Bar Robo, on the heels of releasing her latest album, For Dreaming, name accurately reflecting the warm, soul-pop to be found within; if this album had a colour it would be tea rose covered in dappled sunlight. She got a Juno nod for her 2006 Play that, while still charming, was more folk-adjacent — she still calls herself “roots.”. This album’s softness is also more confident than her previous efforts — perhaps because it was self-produced and recorded, and because she took the time to create what she wanted to be an intimate album, inspired by the likes of Joni Mitchell and Bahamas. The songs are mostly in English but with nods to French yé-yé and even occasional power-pop moments. It’s an album to have on hand for those dreary February days — or even next Wednesday. Oct. 7, with Familiar Wild, 8 p.m., Bar Robo.
Wednesday/ Angela Hewitt
Acclaimed pianist Angela Hewitt is launching the National Arts Centre Orchestra’s season with a ffestival of Schumann and Beethoven piano pieces, bringing to life the friendly competition the two composers had with each other in their day. It also provides a chance to compare the two as composers: the subtle beauty of Schumann and the string-breaking ferocity of Beethoven, and their surprising similarities. Hewitt will play Schumann’s first symphony and Beethoven’s Piano Concerto No. 1 and Sonata, Op. 79. (She will then perform at the National Gallery on Saturday next week, more piece by Schumann and Beethoven, but ones more suitable to the setting.) Oct. 12, 8 p.m., NAC, Southam Hall. from $25. nac-cna.ca
For a real treat, delightful Montreal chanteuse Charlotte Cardin — who I have been urging all to see for her soft rock/soul/hip hop style — will be performing pieces of Schumann’s Lieder (aka romantic songs) in an exploration of the composer with hosts Petr Cancura and NAC’s music director Alexander Shelley. Oct. 12, 10 p.m., NAC Back Stage. $10. nac-cna.ca
Rock // Trunk / Moon Tan / Peeling
Headbangers have some choices to offset their turkey dreams this weekend. First, Chicago’s Long Live The Goat plays stoner rock alongside the funked-out psychedelia of Ottawa’s Trunk — a band that brings deep groove everyone can enjoy — alongside Gnarly Brown on Thursday. Then the psychedelia gets some guitar shredding, vocal prowess and hair-band treatment as Winnipeg’s electric Moon Tan descends on the same venue on Friday, with local hosers HELLbros! and blues grunge from Big Moan.
Those who prefer to have their innards vibrate should catch the show on Oct. 12, also at HoT: Toronto’s ostensibly punk-electro band Peeling — but we still think of them as straight punk rock — play a bass-driven show featuring Ottawa’s own growlers, The Heavy Medicine Band, with muted, lo-fi surfy creations from Fire Antlers. Oct. 6, 7, 12, House of Targ. www.houseoftarg.com
Friday// Céleste Lévis
La Voix semi-finalist Céleste Lévis, another powerhouse woman vocalist from Timmins (but now Montreal resident), has just released her first album and is launching it with the first official concert of the tour at Shenkman Arts Centre, as she has a soft spot for the region. The album is an alt-country/folk album, with more than half the songs written by Lévis, featuring deep, emotive contralto voice that won her so many fans when she appeared on the reality TV show and YouTube, where you should catch her great cover with X Ambassadors’ William Lamoureux. The album is all in French, as will be the show. Oct. 7, 8 p.m., Shenkman Arts Centre. $20-$27.50. shenkmanarts.ca
Saturday// Merganzer / Iskwé
There are two transportive gigs to catch on Saturday, beginning with a free show from local experimental pop music creator Mika Posen, under the moniker Merganzer. Posen is a well-known musician, playing with the likes of Broken Social Scene and Evening Hymns, but she released her solo album almost a year ago of hauntingly plaintive looped and violin sampled songs — created using her invention, the “mikatron.” She is now releasing a vinyl edition of that album and will be performing a ‘mostly acoustic’ show, with her at the piano, on Saturday afternoon. Oct. 8, with Chimes of Wrens, 2 to 5 p.m., Record Centre. Free.
Then Winnipeg songwriter Iskwé (pronounced iss-kway) creates trippy, electronic soul music, combining elements of her Irish and Cree/Dené culture and her penetrating voice to create something atmospheric and lush — while never shying from political commentary. That said, her songs are musically entrancing, and perfect for the dubstep club where she will be performing this week. Oct. 8, with cellist Cris Derksen, 8 p.m., Mercury Lounge. $12 in advance. mercurylounge.com
Sunday/ i-OCTANE
Jamaican reggae and dancehall artist i-Octane, or Byiome Mui, makes his first stop in Ottawa at an all-ages, Thanksgiving Monday show. He’s caught attention for his pathos-over-violence depictions of poverty, emotion over sex, and social commentary in his songs. He’ll have support from Don Ignorance and DJs Cruss and Tytus. But Haiti is represented in another room, by headliner Tony Mix from Port-Au-Prince, with support from Montreal’s Dwinny DaOne, Mc Kiki and PlatinumD, plus locals Ohsogood and DJ J-One. Oct. 9, St. Anthony’s Banquet Hall. $40-$80.
Disturbed / Wednesday
Disturbed is an interesting hard rock/metal band: they just won an award for the best metal song of the 21st century from Loudwire with Down with the Sickness, while they are currently on the charts with their poignant, culturally-significant and not-rock version of Simon and Garfunkel’s folk ballad, The Sound of Silence. Who’d have thought? But this band obviously has a good read of the zeitgeist, with all six of their studio albums since 2000 debuting on the top charts. The band plays an all-ages show at TD Place, joined by fellow Chicagoans indie rockers Chevelle, who have just released their eighth studio album, and their darkest, most-thrashing one to date. Oct. 12, with Nothing More, 7 p.m., TD Place. $49.50-$69.50. tdplace.ca
