02.02.12 | cmon ottawa sputnikers i know you exist |
wabbit
02.02.12 | dude really? Ottawa never has music ever.
I'm going if I'm still in renfrew. |
Spec
02.02.12 | Fuck yeah. Party with those retired seniors m/ |
wabbit
02.02.12 | dude don't dis ottawa we have like winterlude and the senators are in like 7th place and we might get
another semi-professional sports team in like 10 years. |
Spec
02.02.12 | Capital of Canada couldn't even keep a CFL team, how embarrassing. |
PhaseNet
02.02.12 | Converge has never been to my city :( |
pmmets07
02.02.12 | i'm gonna hit up the providence show |
demigod93
02.03.12 | i'm still amazed they're coming too. apparently for the first time in a decade. thought i'd have to go to toronto or montreal if i ever wanted to see em, guess not though |
MO
02.03.12 | I would go if I enjoyed this band in the slightest. Who's the backup and where are they playing? |
devious
02.03.12 | m/ @ MetallicOpeth. Fuck Converge. |
MO
02.03.12 | I wonder who the promoter is, the Ottawa metal scene has been getting stronger recently which is why some pretty decent bands have made their way here. |
devious
02.03.12 | I live in South Florida. So this show doesn't matter to me in the least. But I mean, if Converge did come here, I wouldn't go. And to be honest, most of the good metal bands don't travel farther south than Orlando, so I never get good shows. |
johnnyblaze
02.03.12 | Ya man, Counterparts were here recently. Not sure who the promoter is. I'm definitely going; I'd been down to meet up.
The venue is Ritual... has anyone seen a show at Ritual that isn't dubstep??? I saw Rusko there two years ago - was siiiick. |
AsoTamaki
02.03.12 | @devious: Really? That sucks. The Culture Room used to have a good show every week back in the day. Doesn't Revolution get good bands now though? |
devious
02.03.12 | It's few and far between. Most of the time it's shit bands like Attila, Chelsea Grin, and I See Stars now a days. And the last show I went to at Culture was As I Lay Dying, and it was because my friends paid for my ticket and drove. Why not accept that offer? |
devious
02.03.12 | Culture Room Upcoming Shows:
http://www.cultureroom.net/upcomingshows.htm
Lights is the best thing on there. Truth (I don't want to go sit around with people that would listen to Buckethead for an hour.) |
MalleusMaleficarum
02.03.12 | damn bro can i get a youtube vid of the live performance your display pic is from? lol
oh and also: converge is stoppin in toronto as well. anyone going to that? |
devious
02.03.12 | Oh and as for Revolution - Only Metal show in the next 3 months...
We Came As Romans w. Emmure, Blessthefall
Fuck that shit. Only shows I'll be heading south for will be the Henry Rollins Spoken Word w/ BallsToTheWalls and Hanson. |
AsoTamaki
02.03.12 | Lol, damn. Yeah, I'm looking at the Revolution lineup and it is pretty sad. There's also Iced Earth / Symphony X, but that's it. Not even the non-metal artists are any good. Crazy. |
devious
02.03.12 | So now I just head up to Orlando for shows. Just sucks I have to drive 2 hours instead of 45 minutes. |
DinoX
02.03.12 | Hey, I am going to the Ottawa show with another sputnik user Eclecticist so if you wanna meet up we could totally arrange that shit, we both go to Carleton. |
AsoTamaki
02.03.12 | That's not so bad, I guess. At least you aren't in a state that gets completely ignored. I did always hate how some bands would stop in Orlando and then turn up the east coast though. I've only been to the House of Blues there. Awesome venue. |
johnnyblaze
02.03.12 | 4 guys confirmed. let's do this eh. i wish this was on friday or saturday.. working at 9am after a converge show will be mega balls.
i'll shoutbox you guys closer to the concert date. i just graduated from CU btw. |
demigod93
02.03.12 | sweet dude. if you're going stick a paper to your shirt saying "SPUTNIK" on it. or some cool codeword we'll come up with closer to the date
omg gonna be cool guyz |
DinoX
02.03.12 | Ya I didn't know there were more Ottawa sputnikers, looking forward to meeting some more people from this site. |
demigod93
02.03.12 | same here. the only sputnikers i know are my friends that i introduced to the site |
Satellite
02.03.12 | going to the lansing show |
DinoX
02.03.12 | Only concert in Ottawa I've been interested in attending since I came here since Protest The Hero, also Ritual is pretty decent place to go to for concerts because it is easy to get to the front and moving to and fro the bathroom is a breeze lol.
You go to any Ottawa shows? |
demigod93
02.03.12 | i've only been to a few shows at civic/scotia bank place, but since I just turned 19 recently (yes i'm a young'n) i plan on going to a bunch more. I hear Title Fight is playing at Maverick's in a few months so i may go to that with some friends.
but yeah, i think the last concert I went to was the Pixies, and that was in April... Ottawa really sucks for concerts, though i must admit things are getting better; we're even getting RHCP in april! |
MO
02.03.12 | as much as I'd just love to meet you ottawa sputnikers...it's converge damnit, come see a death metal show and we'll have a pint |
DinoX
02.03.12 | Ya I have noticed as MetallicOpeth pointed out that the metal bands coming here do seem to be getting better but nothing that particularly interests me. At least Ottawa has concerts, pain in the ass that my the closest concert you could attend is 2 hours away.
I also saw Lights
We Came As Romans (friend forced me to go)

sgmpsy
02.03.12 | touche amore is playing mavs in a few months too. all this thanks to spectrasonic.

demigod93

DinoX
02.03.12 | do you go to CU? |
wabbit
02.03.12 | frank turner is back on the 26th of april too...I really really hope to be in England by then though |
johnnyblaze
02.03.12 | ya man! he's opening for joel plaskett. i feel realllly bad for joel. i'll be at that one for sure though.
you ever been to a show at the bronson centre? |
DinoX
02.03.12 | That's cool that you're in renfrew wonarabbit, my hometown is Pembroke. |
DinoX
02.03.12 | I've been to the bronson center. It is like 90% seating and is fairly small, there is a very small standing area but when it gets full they don't let anyone else enter. It also has a balcony where you can watch from. |
wabbit
02.03.12 | no I haven't and ya poor poor joel. Should be a good show, if I'm in ontario I'll go with this girl who is a huge fan of his so she can go try and have sex with joel and I can go try and have sex with frank and when we both fail I guess I'll do her.
Man Pembroke is actually the shittiest place on earth. |
DinoX
02.03.12 | I know it is lol. I am glad to be out of there, it is full of hicks, most of the town is on welfare and everyone is racist as fuck. |
wabbit
02.03.12 | man if we are the same age and you go to carelton we probably know some of the same guys. Cause my best friend is living with some guys from pembroke. |
DinoX
02.03.12 | Well I am 19, so if we're the same age what are their names? if they went to the same highschool then it is likely. |
johnnyblaze
02.03.12 | word. fuck seats. god damnit people better not fucking sit through frank's rockin shit. |
wabbit
02.03.12 | Matt and Taylor |
DinoX
02.03.12 | well there are plenty of matts and taylors lol. |
DinoX
02.03.12 | I don't know any matt's or taylo'rs going to CU personally though |
wabbit
02.03.12 | that are in second year at carelton living together? I just don't want to same there names on the internet. |
DinoX
02.03.12 | understandable, it is very possible I know who they are but I probably don't know them personally. |
DinoX
02.03.12 | CONVERGE. Anyone listen to Burning Love? |
demigod93
