No Aloha Live @ CJLO

September 19 2015 // Sessions

No Aloha is four chill dudes from Montreal who write sick pop tunes influenced by garage rock and psych. They played a couple of shows at this years Pop Montreal, so we decided to invite them by for our Pop Montreal sessions series. These tracks are a good ol' gritty time. They go down smooth, like a 6 pack of cheap beer on a hot sunny day.

Icky Blossoms Live @ CJLO

May 12 2015 // Sessions

In town the previous night opening for the Faint's Danse Macabre 10th anniversary tour in early December 2012, Omaha electro-rock band Icky Blossoms dropped by The Oven the following morning to record a session for "Hooked on Sonics".  As tired as they may have told us they were, the trio definitely didn't seem so, burning through four songs off of their self titled debut release for Saddle Creek records and even sitting around to chat.
