"hilarious track I recorded with Coccinella that we never released" https://www.facebook.com/events/249057632420887/ Pretty Bad Weekend with Chautauqua, Expanda Fuzz, and Saint Clare Sept. 28 and Sept. 29 "Join us for night #2 of the party, celebrating Ottawa's music scene while the Pretty Bad Records family (past, present, and future) kicks out some jams at Irene's Pub! Doors at 8PM, Music after 9PM $10 at the door (50% off with Day 1 ticket stub) Day 1: https://www.facebook.com/events/2086760608254263/ Day 2 Features: Chautauqua Featuring members of past Pretty Bad Records bands The Shakey Aches and The Johnnies, Chautauqua are scrappy instrumentalists generating sonically mindbending modness while channeling dusty explorations of experimental ambience and white noise. They are gearing up to record their debut with Juno nominee Topon Das at his apt2 recording studio in the fall. Expanda Fuzz https://www.facebook.com/expandafuzz/ Expanda Fuzz was conceived attempting to rip apart a Pink Floyd song with a distorted bass and a fuzz-driven guitar through a ripped speaker cabinet...while playing to a Roland 404 sampler. Think Kim Deal fronting the Velvet Underground, or Mary Timony jamming with Suicide. They're not a Pretty Bad Records artist yet... but we'll keep working on that. Saint Clare https://www.facebook.com/saintclareband/ Saint Clare is an Ottawa, Ontario rock n' roll band playing a mix of songs that are too poppy to be considered garage rock, but too fuzzy to be considered just pop. They have been compared to Pixies, Husker Du, and The Cure and draw on a wide range of genres from pop, to rock, to indie, to garage, and psychedelic. *Extra special thanks and shout out to Marc Audet from Ottawa Gig Posters! http://ottawagigposters.blogspot.com/" |

Join us for two nights celebrating Ottawa's music scene while the Pretty Bad Records family (past, present, and future) kicks out some jams at Irene's Pub!

No Problem Situation https://www.facebook.com/No-Problem-Situation-1468587459913374/ Built on the philosophy that hissy fits are overrated, No Problem Situation plays rock n' roll, based out of Ottawa, Canada. The band features members of Pretty Bad Records recording artist G Rodgers & The Capital Dominion Radiators, and they recently put out a Pretty Bad Records 7" in Spring 2018. Slo' Tom & the Handsome Devils https://www.facebook.com/slotomandthehandsomedevils/ Slo’ Tom is a legendary Canadian songwriter best known as one third of alt-rock legends FURNACEFACE. He has spent the last decade perfecting his rollicking country outfit Slo’ Tom & The Handsome Devils.
