If time flies when you’re having fun, then it’s no surprise then that it’s already been 20 years since The Trews unleashed their debut album House of Ill Fame on the world. They played the album front to back last Saturday night at Centrepointe.
Another weekend, another weather rollercoaster for us here in the 613, friends. So whether it snows, slushes, freezes or shines, there are lots of activities both indoors and outdoors to keep you occupied for the last weekend of the month.
It’s a special season for Meridian Theatres @ Centrepointe as they celebrate 35 years of performance in the heart of Ottawa’s west end at Ben Franklin Place. This season could very well be the most dynamic one yet as the theatre showcases never-before-featured-genres and a jam-packed calendar.
“Two things make us really lucky: one, when we get together, we can still manage to write a few songs, which is nice, since we like writing songs and making records. And people still want to come see us. We don’t take that for granted.”
Now that you’ve had a chance to catch your breath after the first four days of Bluesfest, it’s time to prepare to dive headfirst into another six days of great music. Tuesday will ease you back into it, with a lighter schedule featuring one fewer venue.
The Trews headlined opening night of the Hopped & Confused Festival at Mill Street Brew Pub. Apt613 will be back on Saturday night when Tokyo Police Club, Hollerado, Dilly Dally and New Swears take to the stage.
With so much going on, deciding what to do can be hard. We hope we can help you out with that, in offering you this weekend’s lengthy list of highlights.
The Trews headline Hopped & Confused Festival at the Mill Street Brew Pub (555 Wellington St) on Friday August 25.
