Amos The Transparent's favourite number is ten, followed closely by 9-1-1
This week is a bit of a sleeper, though not to be confused with being sleepy. As in, it should be a great chance to hear some new and up-and-coming music that you might not have gotten to in a busier week.
Specifically, you can see Amos The Transparent, a "new" local band that includes former members of the now-defunct Keep Yourself Good Company and the not-at-all-defunct The Architects, as well as singer-songwriter Ana Miura. And be sure to get there early so you can take in Jetplanes Of Abraham, the new Ottawa supergroup that is practically drowning in local bloggers' slobber.
Speaking of blogger-slobber, the lightly internet-buzzed Oppenheimer are making the trip all the way from Belfast to bring their fuzzy, infectious pop sound into Ottawa. They should probably be getting a little more attention, so maybe you'd like to give it to them (edit: cancelled, give it to them once they reschedule). Listen to Breakfast In NYC, but be careful: it may make you want to hug people.

I'm really torn about both Friday and Saturday...I want to see all three of those Friday shows, while Saturday also has a Bangkok house party happening (albeit somewhere in Nepean). It's insane!
the oppenheimer show has been cancelled. work permit problems. they say they will return in October.
I could be wrong, but I think that Zaphod's show on Saturday with These Electric Lives has City Of 100 Spires opening, not Black Actors - just saw a poster on my block this afternoon.
Still, City Of 100 Spires are fucking awesome live. Go see it.
Originally the show was with Black Actors, but it switched at some point.
Where did you hear the Bad Flirt/Oppenheimer show was cancelled?
kevin, thanks for the info. i thought i saw something about it last week, but ignored it.
Saw it on their myspace page. All Canadian dates are cancelled and they hope to reschedule sometime in October.
DAMO SUZUKI AT AVANT-GARDE TONIGHT! WHOO-HOO!
