The Wilderness, Paper Ladies, The Maximum Chill, and Motherland

February 15, 2018 8:00 pm. The Wilderness (Kingston, On) was born from the words of Dick Prenicke, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Charles Bukowski, Irvine Welsh and other prolific 20th century writers. Through dedication and optimism, The Wilderness has completed the transformation from 4 university students to a fully formed indie rock band. With influences spanning an esoteric musical spectrum, The Wilderness will continue to reinvent itself and seek to draw in an audience that can handle the ride.Though they lack in numbers, they make up for it with their wall of sound. Combining cascading psychedelic delays, dripping reverbs, droning bass synth, and lo-fi grit, PAPER LADIES (Ottawa, On) delivers a sonic blast that can be heard for miles.Fully formed in July 2017, The Maximum Chill (Ottawa, On) is the most alternative "alternative rock" band you've never heard of. They combine musical elements of rock, jazz,and modern classical with a lyrical style that is somewhere between comedic satire and social commentary.Back to the Motherland (Ottawa, On) is an alternative rock band from Canada's capital influenced by contemporary genres such as blues, punk, and underground experimentation.. 221 Rideau St.Ottawa, ON K1N 5X8..
