RIKERS GUIDE TO YOUR WEEKEND

looking for a good show to see this weekend ?

obviously if you're in OTTAWA for Junofest we recommend you come see RIKERS @ CLUB SAW on Friday March 30th but if you're not lucky enough to be in Ottawa we've got a few other recommendations that might make your weekend a little better.

Here's a list of our friends that are on tour this weekend and where you can find them .


BIRTHDAY BOYS

These guys are our bff's when it comes to bands . technically speaking there is some blood relation but all bias aside we're massive fans and seeing as they've slowed down their touring schedule lately you should catch em while you can.

Friday March 30th

The Red Dog 

Peterborough

THE LUMBERMEN
www.thelumbermen.bandcamp.com

ever seen a man wearing a bearskin and holding a chainsaw ? they're opening up for Birthday Boys in Peterborough , grab their ep from bandcamp

Friday March 30th
The Red Dog
Peterborough

TEENAGE KICKS

we've played with these guys twice recently and each time they killed it . great tunes , great band , good guys blah blah blah . we're not a very warm and fuzzy band so we don't pass out those compliments easily. just take our word for it and check out TK. they're on tour with Wildlife ( who i've never seen but also come highly recommended by others ) across the east coast. here are the remaining dates...

Friday March 30th
Michael's - Halifax

Saturday March 31st
Peppers Pub - St. John NB

Sunday April 1st
Scanners - Quebec City

FIREXFIRE
www.firexfiremusic.com

another band we played with a while back . keyboards . harmonies . good songwriting. worth checking out for sure.

Saturday March 31st
Montreal - Pub St Cibiore

PAINT
www.paintband.com

check out the song ' girl in a frame ' . reminds me of 90's indie in a good way. the simplicity of a pop song will never lose it's appeal.

they're on an ontario run right now , weekend shows here..

Friday March 30th
Windsor - Milk

Saturday March 31st
London - Black Shire


enjoy some live music this week kids . it's better than playing video games and drinking diet mountain dew.
