Doors: 8pm / 19+
Cover: FREE SHOW

THE RETROSPECTS (Ott NewWave SynthPop)
The Retrospects are a vibrant retro synthpop band that channels the quintessential sounds of the 1980's. Comprised of five members who share a passion for vintage synths and drum machines.  The Retrospects play music that is both fun and nostalgic.  The songs are built on sharp hooks, simple lyrics, and the overall positive vibe of late nights at the club watching bands.  Each song serves as a time capsule, transporting listeners back to a decade known for its bold style and musical experimentation. The Retrospects not only replicate the era’s sound but also reimagine it, creating a modern twist on classic synthpop.

Featuring members of the New Calling, the White Wires, Bonnie Doon, Sleep Late, Million Dollar Marxists, the Giorgioz, and literally dozens more Ottawa bands

CRISIS PARTY (Ottawa Melodic Wizard Punk)
Matty Grace (Cluttered, Century Egg, Future Girls) wasted no time in recruiting Ottawa punk mainstays Anthony Cardozo (Precious Failures, The Flying Hellfish) and “Ska” Jeff (Doxx, Dogma, Zooman) to bring Crisis Party to life. Blending influences from the Wipers to Wire and the Marked Men
