Through extensive tours throughout North America and Europe, The Acorn has obtained international recognition. Recently, the band has been announced as making the long list for the 2015 Polaris Music Prize, their second nomination since 2008. The Acorn has become a catalyst for Ottawa’s music and art scene, especially in light of lead singer Rolf Klausener's founding of the widely influential Arboretum Music Festival. http://www.theacorn.ca/ SCATTERED CLOUDS Hailing from Vieux-Hull, Scattered Clouds is an experimental, post-rock band that is garnering much critical attention from the release of their latest album The First Empire. Their sound is dark, experiential and post apocalyptic. It layers artificial enstasy with bouts of unsteady euphoria and romanticism. Brooding rhythms and precise noise from this experimental 3-piece underline film noir imagery and auto-fictional narratives. http://www.scatteredcloudsmusic.com/ Live performances by The Acorn and Scattered Clouds will be followed with a set by DJ CPI DJ CPI is a curator of music and a celebrated fixture in Ottawa's music scene.
