Q : What is your favourite venue in ottawa and why ?
nd : Zaphod Beeblebrox is a really cool venue . The whole vibe of the bar just is a reminder of a classic tell-tale music club straight out of a movie . The Rainbow is amazing as well ; it has a special type of intimacy that doesn ’ t come with just any room . y : Last time I played in Ottawa was at Mavericks which was a super cool place ! It has such a great stage and a good vibe . Ritual was another solid venue choice . L : The best venue in Ottawa to me would be Babylon — a staple club in the city , weekly DJs , great sound , capacity is about
500-600ish … all major acts roll through there . It ’ s got a great layout and the vibe is always proper .
Q : What is your favourite thing to do in ottawa when in town for a gig ?
nd : When we ’ re in Ottawa we always make a stop at one of the shawarma spots in the city . We always try to hit a different one to find the best , but so far Ottawa has the best in the country . y : I have a good friend who I grew up with , who now lives in Ottawa , so I love being able to catch up with him and meet at a place like ( the music venue the LytiCs
and bar ) Avant-Garde or shop around at Vertigo Records . L : I like to see a show , probably at Babylon !
