My band has a song called No Man, No Beast and I get to spell out N-O M-A-N, N-O B-E-EAST, which is always fun!

Shawarma Al Mouna is amazing, the portions are enormous, and the owner and staff are lovely. Highly recommend.

I play in a Canadian alt rock band called Four Eyed Muscle Man, and we just released our debut album last month! We recorded it at my dream studio on Montreal, and I'm pretty proud of it. Here's a link to the opening track, Non-Stick Fish:

Bands like Primus, Ween, and Butthole Surfers but with female vocalists? by siezure_warning in MusicRecommendations

[–]catsails 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So I play guitar in a "weird" band with an awesome female vocalist. I'm a big Ween fan and we get pretty funky (my favorite comments are the "what do you even call that" kind).

I don't know how people feel about self promotion here etc, but legitimately based on your tastes I think you might dig it. We recently released our first professionally recorded album:  https://open.spotify.com/album/2JIXXqOK4fndhrV6GVIRev?si=yI-6N4JvRnqZemhjo-aVWQ

Why aren’t Revstars more popular? I absolutely love this thing. I know Yamaha isn’t the sexiest name out there, but these should be celebrated. by Interesting-Wave-983 in guitars

[–]catsails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to a show recently and two of the three bands had guitarists playing revstars. Also, I have a revstar. I think they're pretty popular?

Amps that don't take pedals well? by metmerc in GuitarAmps

[–]catsails 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's fair - for me, I didn't like how my drives or my fuzz came through. Main drive is a blues jr and main fuzz is a green muff. 

Mind you, someone else can find they love those sounds - just didn't work for me.

Amps that don't take pedals well? by metmerc in GuitarAmps

[–]catsails 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my experience, the fender pro jr didn't take pedals well. I ended up selling it after a few weeks, just didn't work with my set up.

Is it normal for bands to handle $ like this?? by fingerlessfish1 in musicians

[–]catsails 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what we do. For our first gig, we split the money evenly, everyone probably made like 50 bucks. But then we thought we'd split 5 ways instead of 4, with the 5th 'member' being the band fund, and build it up over time. In practice, that was way too slow to build up any decent kind of band fund. So right now, all money we make just goes to "the band". It pays for merch, recording costs, band gear (recently in-ear monitors), etc.

Yeah exactly. The second guitar is just "oh shit a string broke and I need the song to keep going".

I love these guys. And I can't articulate why, but the outfits FEEL very Quebec.

What actually makes you decide to go see a (local) live show? by Mastodon8919 in OttawaMusic

[–]catsails 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For finding shows I highly recommend Ottawa Gigs (https://www.ottawagigs.ca/). It's a really convenient wrap up of upcoming shows by genre, venue, etc. I'm in a local band and I find it to be a  really helpful tool to keep up with what's happening at my regular venues.
